  We are in the middle of a fucking plague … what are we gonna do about i
 t?” Larry Kramer demanded at the New York LGBT+ Centre on 10 March 1987.
  Hundreds gathered that day to establish ACT UP — the AIDS Coalition to 
 Unleash Power: united in anger and committed to non-violent direct action 
 to end the AIDS crisis. Forty years on\, that urgency still reverberates. 
 As cuts to HIV and AIDS funding put millions of lives at risk\, the answer
  remains the same: ACT UP until there is healthcare for all.This calendar 
 brings together ACT UP chapters — old\, new and newly reactivated — fr
 om around the world. It celebrates the extraordinary diversity of our crea
 tive activism and the power of our insurrectionary imaginations: from mass
  die-ins in Trafalgar square and pharmaceutical occupations to political f
 unerals and ashes thrown over the White House gates.ACT UP has saved count
 less lives\, including my own\, and shown what people power can achieve. T
 his calendar is an international kaleidoscope of that history\, creativity
  and resistance — and an invitation to pass the flame on. ABOUT THE ADVO
 CACY ACADEMYThe Advocacy Academy is a home for youth organising in the UK.

 de Mayo\, ACT UP Latina/o Caucus“This calendar has connected us with ACT

 nging. It has helped us understand our local history as part of an interna
 tional movement fighting for four decades.” ACT UP Argentina“Working w
