The purpose of this GLOBAL ACTION CALENDAR is to create a global awareness of the many important events and actions taking place in arts communities around the world that intend to change the narrative of civilization from war, racism, misogyny, and ecological destruction to a narrative of peace, justice and sustainability. We hope this GLOBAL ACTION CALENDAR will be a great source of creative ideas and empowerment and help create positive change.

Please post your event details for the GLOBAL ACTION CALENDAR in the Comment Box below the calendar. Include the name of your event, event description, venue name, event location, time and date and any available contact information. This calendar is open to ALL artists of ALL disciplines. All event listings will appear within 2 hours of posting. 

The RESISTANCE POETRY WALL has been opened in response to the call by many for an open place to post poetry and art about the recent USA elections. Poets and artists from around the world are invited to post their work here. Feel free to share this link.

The poetry and art posted on the WALL are not limited to the USA elections. There are many issues that concern us all and we welcome your contribution to this page.

Post your poems  in the comment box at the bottom of the page. Your poem will appear on the WALL in approximately 1 hour.
