ACT UP Marks 25 Years of Activism

SAVE THE DATE — APRIL 25, 2012

Hard to believe it's been 25 years since ACT UP did what had to be done, when others were afraid to.

From a release:

To commemorate its 25th anniversary, the AIDS activist group ACT UP will return to its roots and stage a massive demonstration and march on Wall Street — on Wednesday, April 25 — starting at 11 a.m. at City Hall and ending on Wall Street. Hundreds of protestors are
expected to converge for a daylong siege in Lower Manhattan.

ACT UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) will be joined by Occupy Wall Street (OWS), the organization making history this year and last with its public encampments and series of protests against the global financial community. The groups are joining forces to pump up the volume on a growing nationwide outcry for a "Financial Speculation Tax" (Fi.S.T.) on Wall Street.
