The story of the brave young men and women who successfully reversed the tide of an epidemic, demanded the attention of a fearful nation, and stopped AIDS from becoming a death sentence. This improbable group of activists bucked oppression and infiltrated government agencies and the pharmaceutical industry, helping to identify promising new medication and treatments and move them through trials and into drugstores in record time.

Great activism submitted by Xris on March 13, 2022, 12:19pm The people of ACT UP! educated themselves so they could properly avocate for themselves and those they loved. They got things done that wouldn't have otherwise. Inspirational for anyone who wants to be an activist.
