Today, in honor of World AIDS Day on December 1st, we want to recognize and honor a group that was fundamentally responsible for changing the tide on the AIDS crisis. ACT UP, an acronym that stood for AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power, was founded in 1987. At this time, over 40,000 Americans had died of the AIDS crisis and the President had only just acknowledged there was even a pandemic happening. Funding was still obsolete and most doctors couldn’t convince people that this was not a “gay disease”. And they certainly couldn’t convince people to care about all the gays who were dying of this mysterious virus. The world needed to wake up and start taking action on a crisis that had been raging for nearly a decade. Join us on Patreon!
