Our 2026 edition of the Ricardo Levins Morales Liberation Calendar (our 10th annual!) comes at a time of all-out assault on the hard-won gains of people’s movements over the last century. An essential element of that assault is the suppression of the kinds of stories contained in this calendar: stories of resistance and solidarity that can drive us towards freedom.
Visually, this year’s calendar art honors racial justice icons like Ida B. Wells and the Black Panthers; celebrates freedom struggles for Palestine, LGBTQ+ rights, and economic justice; and reflects on intergenerational love, youth storytelling, and ecological wisdom. There’s even a musical anti-war interlude in August. It’s all tied together by Assata’s “North Star” on both the cover and the January page, and Rumi’s invitation to “let the spirits fly in and out” in December.
In between the original artwork spanning Ricardo Levins Morales’ 50+ years of art and activism, historical dates have been carefully chosen to uplift moments when ordinary people rose up to build a better future.

The Liberation Calendar will have you excited to turn the page on the 1st of every month–and you’ll want to save the previous month’s art to hang on your wall, too. It makes a great gift for colleagues, for co-conspirators, and for yourself. We hope it nourishes your spirit all year long.
