Davis Pride

We are FEARLESS for National Coming Out Day... and what better way to support your Queens & Kings than helping us host their
vibrant magical pageantry!

KNOW YOUR STATUS

Don't forget to join us on Friday, October 16, 2026, from 6-8PM for a FREE event at CASA de ESPAÑOL in honor of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day! Did you know that Latinos represent 19% (1 in 5 people) of the U.S. population but account for 34% (1 in 3 people) of all new HIV diagnoses?

Enjoy delicious Hispanic food, Latin music, mingle with local vendors and community partners, and enjoy a special showing of a traditional Novela that addresses HIV stigma and the use of PrEP (Pre-exposure Prophylaxis) by Reach LA: “El Chakal de Mi Corazón.” Free rapid HIV testing will also be provided by Golden Rule Services, so come and enjoy!

Special thanks to our sponsors: Gilead Sciences and ViiV Healthcare

Thank you to the additional participating community organizations: Latino Center of Art & Culture, Visión y Compromiso, and East Bay: Getting to Zero

Davis Pride will present an altar dedicated to trans lives lost during 2026. If you are interested in honoring an ancestor or a group of people lost this year, submit your interest here https://forms.gle/SwrSpa7koa2gK7g49

Thank you Davis Phoenix Coalition Davis, CA Chamber of Commerce and Studies Yolo Academy for elevating our Latinx community

Pedro Zamora, a Cuban-American, was one of the first openly gay men with HIV/AIDS to be portrayed in popular media through his role on MTV's reality television series The Real World: San Francisco in 1994. Through this role, he brought international attention to HIV/AIDS issues and became an AIDS educator and activist.

He was credited by U.S. President at the time, Bill Clinton, for humanizing people living with HIV through Pedro's activism, which also included a testimony before Congress. Pedro’s work was tragically cut short when he died of an AIDS-related illness in 1994, the morning after the final episode of The Real World: San Francisco aired.

In his honor, the National AIDS Memorial created the Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship, which spotlights and supports young leaders who carry the torch of activists like Pedro and mitigate the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
