Larry Kramer, June 25, 1935 – May 27, 2020

Larry Kramer was a writer and activist who fought fiercely for people with H.I.V. and AIDS, first as a founding member of the Gay Men’s Health Crisis, and then through the more protest-oriented AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, ACT UP, which he co-founded in 1987.  Though sometimes considered controversial, his passion and dedication as a public health advocate and LGBT activist was tireless and unwavering.

We urge everyone to learn about the life and work of Larry Kramer, and the ways in which we can work together to effect positive change, even in the midst of a global health crisis.
