we are still not silent
ACT UP London is a campaign group committed to direct action to end the HIV pandemic, along with the broader inequalities and injustices that perpetuate it.
In the fifth decade of this crisis, we fight to ensure comprehensive and easily accessible treatment for all people, in all countries. This includes not only medications but also mental and social health services as well as housing and economic equality!
Here in the UK, we are united with the coalition of activists fighting to keep our National Health Service free, publicly run, and fully-funded!
In a time of rising bigotry, we challenge anyone who would hinder or cut back on life-saving services around:
safer sex
education
clean needles
and all other HIV prevention measures
And in a time of continuing stigma, silence, and isolation, we combat discrimination against and promote the visibility and leadership of those living with HIV and AIDS.
Remembering that HIV & AIDS is foremost a political crisis, as well as a medical emergency, we will use every means possible to call out and contain this pandemic.

The Advocacy Academy 2 Beehive Place, London, SW9 7QR
In 2027, ‘AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power’ (ACT UP) turns 40. To mark four decades of radical HIV/AIDS activism, The Advocacy Academy will launch the ACT UP at 40: Celebrating Resistance and Demanding Healthcare for All — Calendar 2027, bringing together previously unseen photographs and footage from ACT UP chapters around the world alongside daily reminders of protest. We will have a short conversation with activists, photographers and filmmakers who documented and participated in the early years of ACT UP London and a new generation of organisers to ask: What can ACT UP teach us now?
Calendars will be on sale for the first time!
