Join ACT UP London and the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre for ACT UP London Healthcare for All 2022 Launch Gathering!

Dearest Queerest, are you sick and tired of the current government's bullshit? Don’t want to poke your own eyes out in rage anymore? Want to be involved in an amazing group, meet new friends and take the necessary action to end the privatisation of the NHS and all inequalities that stop people from accessing healthcare?

Well let's start 2022 with a BANG! Get involved with ‘AIDS COALITION TO UNLEASH POWER’ (ACT UP) London Chapter!

If you are committed to direct action to end the HIV pandemic, along with the broader healthcare inequalities and injustices that perpetuate it – YOU ARE WELCOME. Please sign up for a ticket and share with your friends. All details below.

ACT UP! FIGHT BACK! UNTIL THERE IS HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!

The day's focus will be on: What is the strategic action planning we need for the year ahead? What are the targets and actions we need to focus on in 2022 for healthcare for all?

Everyone is welcome.

We will be identifying areas of concern and coming up with strategies for intervention, including but not limited to:

• HIV/Aids stigma
• Fighting for Women’s access to healthcare
• Criminalization of drug use
• Global LGBT+ and HIV+ Rights
• Ageing with HIV+
• Confronting the Hostile Environment
• Protecting the NHS free for all at the point of service
• Challenging Pharmaceutical Greed and Government Inaction
