While we’re STILL here Calendar
A calendar crafted by Queer, Trans, Black, Brown, and visibly racialized folks! Over four weeks in November and December, eight 2SLGBTQIA+ youth gathered weekly to create this beautiful calendar, exploring thought-provoking questions like:
If grief is love with nowhere to go, can we infuse our love with direction?
How will we hold each other?
What is still possible within this lifetime?
The calendar is now available to the public, and we invite you to donate to receive a timeless piece that can be started at any time. All donations will be equally distributed among three causes:
Samar’s Family GoFundMe- Samar is a compassionate and resilient Palestinian who is deeply committed to her family and community. She has been tirelessly advocating for her sister, brother-in-law, and their four children, who have been displaced multiple times due to the ongoing violence in Gaza. This money goes towards feeding her family, rent and other needs she might need while advocating every day for GAZA and her family.
Transfeminist Mutual Aid Fund- The direct aid program currently is composed of four (4) submission rounds per year and typically awards between $200 and $500 to 6 to 10 people in each round. It provides financial support to transfeminine people in often extremely precarious situations (homelessness, no income, debt, domestic violence, mental health problems, disabilities, etc.).
The Coalition of LGBTQ+ Youth Groups, which organizes the L'Asterisk program.

About the Calendar
Six 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, aged 22-30, gathered to share and creatively explore grief through their artistic lenses. Some expressed themselves through writing, others through graphic design or hand-drawn illustrations. The result is a deeply personal and collective reflection on love, loss, and possibility. This calendar is timeless—you can choose when to start it and in what order, allowing everyone the freedom to begin at their own pace.
