@Maria67046329 it’s amazing how we are having almost the same conversations and implementing very similar strategies to demand change !

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex wow, the ending of the film really brings home the message of how this wasn’t just a fight for a cause, but a fight for life in which hundreds of thousands of people lost their life

the lack of information and preconceived ideas, in both the AIDS crisis and today’s pandemic, led to the targeting of specific groups with no basis in fact. Politicians and leaders should step up in these situations, not remain silent

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex Larry Kramer, an influential leader in the ACT UP movement, passed away last month. How did his activism during the AIDs crisis and eventual friendship with Dr, Faucci influence the NIH’s response to covid-19 today?

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex the strong community brought together by the AIDS epidemic strengthened the ACT UP message and brought power and support to the cause !

#UnitedInAnger #NURelSex the strategic use of media allowed the ACT UP movement to challenge those at home who considered themselves “tolerant” of the affected communities to do more. their blunt messaging they made people face reality and not pass it off as an issue of “others”
