"The climate crisis is on track to destroy capitalism\, a top insurer has warned\, with the vast cost of extreme weather impacts l eaving the financial sector unable to operate.

The world is fast approaching temperature levels where insurers will no longer be able to offer cover for many climate risks\, said Günther Thallinger\, on the board of Allianz SE\, one of the world’s biggest insurance companies. H e said that without insurance\, which is already being pulled in some plac es\, many other financial services become unviable\, from mortgages to inv estments."

In the 1980s and early 1990s\, the US government ignored the HIV epidemic as it killed millions of people. Communities devastated by t he epidemic banded together to form ACT UP\, the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. They organized direct action campaigns to force government agencie s and pharmaceutical companies to act. ACT UP’s work saved tens of milli ons of lives and shaped social movements for decades.\n

Now\, the US government is ending HIV research\, prevention\, and treatment programs \, while attacking our communities. Join us for a dinner and a screening o f How to Survive a Plague\, a documentary about ACT UP and the early HIV epidemic .
