Heading: "“Very Low” and “Low” levels— except for Guam"

Subheading: "The Weather Report 7/13/26"

A COVID wastewater map of the United States based on the CDC’s data. Heading level one text: “Very low,” and “low” levels–except for Guam.” Heading level two text: “COVID Wastewater Map.” Subheading text: “June 28th - July 4th 2026.”

The following color codes depict viral activity levels from lowest to highest: “very low” in dark green, “low” in light green and “very high” in red. “limited/no data” is shown in gray.

On the map, the majority of the United States is in dark green meaning “very low” viral activity levels. Washington, Oregon, Texas, Hawaii and Florida are green meaning “low” levels. Guam is an outlier. Guam is red meaning “very high” levels. U.S. Virgin Islands and North Dakota are gray meaning “limited/no data.”

Two hands with polished nails hold an open medication bottle that was proscribed to to someone named Mattie. Overlaid in white is information about the ACT UP NY Health Fair featuring their co-sponsor Treatment Action Group (TAG). Text reads: Money for AIDS + Healthcare not for ICE or warfare. June 28, 2026 Sunday Pride. 12 - 5pm Thompson Street (Washington Square South and West 3rd Street) in front of Judson Memorial Church. The whole block is ours. For our healthcare. For survival. For our community. The photo credit for the image is Alexa Wilkinson @framed.unrest

White text reads: "This Sunday, ACT UP NY will offer free STI testing, Doxy PEP, Narcan, KN95 masks, drug test strips, legal advice, and indoor bathrooms at their annual pride health fair."

This is part two of ACT UP's answer to the question "Since the founding of the NYC free condom program, have you had to do any maintenance advocacy to keep it alive?"

ACT UP New York continues "We had just begun a social media campaign about the defunded free condom program when, at the next meeting with DOHMH (we had arranged follow-up meetings with them until the problem was resolved), they announced that they had found a new source of funding for the condom program and it would resume over the summer.

That experience was a brutal lesson in how quickly the onset of a newer and concurrent crisis like COVID can be used as an excuse for bureaucratic negligence and indifference that is powerful enough to undermine one of an organization’s core missions, in this case, STD prevention through condom distribution."

This is part two of ACT UP's answer to the question "What is your free clinics advocacy campaign?"

ACT UP New York continues "For decades, the city has operated free sexual health clinics across the city [...]. The problem of clinic overcrowding is so bad that clinics can start turning walk-ins away earlier than [their 3:30pm closing time] because the line is too long and they would never be seen by close.

Perhaps the most diabolical aspect of the 3:30pm closing time is that clinics close right as high schools are ending their day, so students have little chance of walking in at a clinic outside of their school hours. Under 18 young people are a sexually active, high risk population that we want to reach with counseling and treatment, and DOHMH has essentially forgotten them!"

White text reads "On a collective level, the introduction of KN95/N95 masks created a change on a scale that society has not experienced since the mass adoption of condoms. With the introduction of condoms, over time there were enormous changes to how groups such as women, queer and trans people, and teens were able to interact with the world and what kinds of lives they had access to pursue. Condoms gave these groups access to preventing pregnancy and STIs confidentially and without the approval of any doctors or politicians. A new sense of bodily autonomy was unlocked."
