#ACTUP
Activists need to research how Black Liberation & Gay Liberation movements happened. They need to look into the Panthers & ActUp. They need to look at the Vietnam protests & study Hooverville. The US has fallen to fascism & can/will take the world with it. We need you to stand up! Solidarity!

Do you think Dallas Buyers Club was just a movie? This is what ACTUP and other AIDS activists were forced to do as the government and pharmaceutical companies dragged their feet while people died. All while liberals like you told them to calm down. Your ignorance is shameful.

einzelnen Menschen abgewälzt wird. Und so meine ich auch den Slogan von #ActUP: Silence=Death kommt aus dem radikalen Widerstand, den queers und allies Gesellschaften und Staaten während der Hochphase von AIDS entgegensetzen. Er bedeutet nicht: oute dich! - vielmehr macht er deutlich, dass das

It's been suggested to me that a good model is ACTUP. One interesting thing they did was forego direct conflict with government and looked to the institutions that supported the government policies that harmed them. This could translate into protests of lying media, boycotts of MAGA businesses etc.

Some comments going down the rabbit hole of argument about whether Gandhi’s active provocation and shaming would work today. This isn’t an either or question. Do them all. Do all the things. The embrace of a variety of tactics w/o infighting is what made ActUp successful.

Mother Nature tired of the constant praise ...
"Look at your gold! You have the best gold! No one's ever seen anything like it! Ma'am you are 24 carat exceptional!"
To which Mother Nature replied "Dears, I don't need your flattery, I need your help."

I was in ActUP/Queer Nation and we frequently encountered Christian nationalists. I don’t know how old the author is or the degree of his political involvement in 90s Atlanta but this article ain’t it, buddy.

A lot of successful protest movements have deliberately courted arrest. The film How To Survive A Plague, which is about the NYC chapter of ACTUP, begins with a preparatory meeting where members plan to get arrested at a protest.

Today in #LaborHistory 9/14/1989: #ACTUP infiltrated #NewYork #StockExchange, chained themselves to balcony to protest high price of AZT, the only approved #AIDS drug. Several days later, Burroughs Wellcome lowered the price of AZT to the still unaffordable price of $6,400/patient per year #LGBTQ

On this day in queer history: Sept 14, 1989

ACT UP shut down Wall Street, protesting AZT’s outrageous cost. Four days later, Burroughs Wellcome cut the price by 20%.

The NY Art Book Fair doubles as a tremendous display space for agit-prop and activist posters and graphics.

Absolutely worth checking out for that alone, if that's one of your interests.

At MOMA PS1.

It’s at times like these that I am very grateful for the education I had all the way back in the late 80s and early 90s on revolutionary movements in history, both in my university education (here and abroad) but also from folks in ActUP, QueerNation and the Gulf War I anti-war movement.

People, the liberties you’re used will be eroded by force and technological means. Guard your identity. Fight on every front.
This is in Moscow.

It will come to America.

Thanks for voting the tyrannical, White Nationalist party into power MAGAts!🖕🤡

Keep your lgbtqia friends safe.

@helenkennedy.bsky.social obviously doesn’t have a gay friend who survived AIDS. Because girl. You have no idea how to resist with your own flesh and how to be wounded. #ACTUP
Why are you not putting your physical body on the line, Helen. You talk tough in the streets that you want to, but have never stepped into as a white woman. Lay down and die like you’re demanding other people to do on your behalf.
