"ENDING AN EPIDEMIC: ACT UP, FIGHT BACK!"
|
The 20th anniversary of the
first documented AIDS case in the United States seemed like the ideal time
to look at the history and successes of ACT UP Philadelphia, the largest
ACT UP group in the country with over 100 active members. ACT UP
Philadelphia is a unique and special group that stands almost alone in its
use of empowerment-based grassroots organizing, aggressive non-violent
direct action tactics, and its analysis of the AIDS epidemic as a
political crisis that can be solved. Meet some of the members of ACT UP
Philadelphia and see them in action.
