The New York City AIDS Memorial Park Campaign is a coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to the recognition and preservation of the ongoing history of the AIDS crisis.

In the 30th year of the epidemic, we seek to honor the more than 100,000 New York City men, women and children who have died from AIDS and to commemorate and celebrate the efforts of the caregivers and activists who responded heroically to the crisis. We represent artists, health care providers, historians, family, friends and neighbors committed to remembering the history of the crisis. Although New York City has lost more people to AIDS than anywhere else in the country, we still have no significant AIDS memorial to honor and recognize all those lost to the disease or to celebrate the heroic efforts of those who responded, and continue to respond, to the crisis.

Simply stated, we believe we can fill that void by engaging the community, architects, designers, urban planners and historians in the design process for the new public open space at the former St. Vincent's Hospital, in order to create a memorial park that provides a much-needed inspirational, educational and green public oasis for the city and surrounding community. This memorial should reflect not just the enormous diversity of those impacted by AIDS, which does not discriminate on the basis of age, race, gender, sexual orientation or geography, but also reflect the unique importance of this site in the history of the crisis. The memorial should acknowledge the past, present and future individuals lost to AIDS, as well as acknowledge the heroic community response in the ongoing fight to to stop the spread of the disease.
