How ACT UP Flipped the Script on AIDS and Gay Rights
In the spring of 1987, an upstart organization started making noise -- and changes -- to help people with HIV/AIDS. The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, aka ACT UP, was “a direct action political activist group,” writer Sarah Schulman told Inside Edition Digital. ACT UP’s public protests made the group difficult to ignore. Schulman, herself a former member of the group, said “In six years, ACT UP achieved incredible victories for people with AIDS.” #InsideEdition

ACT UP organized way before 1987, I should know because I was a part of grassroots efforts. God Bless Larry Kramer❤️🙌
1987... That's the year I was born. Time flies.

Do nothing at all and AIDS wouldn't be a problem... If it killed more people per year than it infected than that virus will die out... I actually did the math it would take 40-70 years (40 years for it to be forgotten and every now and then someone would have it and 70 years for it to be extinct) and depending on how deadly it is it might be 30 years. . HIV has entered humans multiple times throughout history and resulted in the same thing within a few decades it's gone but now its on life support
Act Up, you saved me you educated me and allowed me to stay alive. Thank you.
Why haven't any film directors, networks or cable channels created a television drama series about Act Up???
