Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011)’s involvement in HIV/AIDS activism began in the 1980s. Compelled by radical compassion and bolstered by moral courage, she became the first globally recognized celebrity HIV and AIDS activist. This is #Herstory

”As ignorance, fear, and prejudice fueled the emerging HIV/AIDS epidemic, Elizabeth could not remain quiet. Her unyielding conviction and passion raised hundreds of millions of dollars, changed the hearts and minds of a generation, and saved countless lives.

In 1985, Elizabeth chaired AIDS Project Los Angeles’ Commitment to Life fundraiser. At the same time, the disease struck close to home as her dear friend Rock Hudson died of AIDS. So began her tireless commitment to end the epidemic. Elizabeth co-founded The Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) in 1985 and regularly lobbied President Reagan and Congress to address the crisis. She established The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation (ETAF) in 1991 to provide direct care, along with love and moral support, to the most vulnerable patients.” 💬 by elizabethtayloraidsfoundation
