AIDS Healthcare Foundation participates in the 2018 “Kingdom Day Parade” in Los Angeles promoting two of their campaigns… “AIDS Is A Civil Rights Issue” and “Stand Against Hate”

In addition, AIDS Healthcare Foundation will be promoting its wildly popular “Stand Against Hate” campaign at all these events celebrating Dr. King. This campaign was first created in 2017 in response to the series of hateful events that took place in Charlottesville, VA. The phrase “Stand Against Hate” has allowed a myriad of people to connect with a universal message that acts of hatred and violence continue to be a detriment to our society. Like Dr. King once said “We must come to see that at the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience,” – delivered on March 25, 1965, in Montgomery, AL.
