ACT UP is a diverse non-partisan group of individuals united in anger and committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis. #ACTUP, #FightBack, #FightAIDS!
- We remember a time when HIV/AIDS was called “gay-related immune deficiency” aka GRID and “gay cancer”. NEVER AGAIN will we let world leaders transfer blame to communities. Trust science over discrimination always.I always treated the Chinese Virus very seriously, and have done a very good job from the beginning, including my very early decision to close the “borders” from China - against the wishes of almost all. Many lives were saved. The Fake News new narrative is disgraceful & false!
- We can answer that for you: No. Both @Target and @phluidproject did not get permission to use “SILENCE = DEATH” art. We have been fighting the commodification of AIDS for years and this is the latest edition. If you want to support our work buy from us: give.actupny.com/gear/
- we never stopped hating you guys btwIf you get sick with a respiratory virus, stay home and away from others. You can return to normal activities when symptoms have been getting better overall for 24 hours, but take precaution for the next 5 days to curb the spread of illness. bit.ly/3OYWRj9
- When a community member is attacked with racially and homophobic charged words, it is a hate crime. Not “alleged”. Not “possible”. Not “apparent”. We demand justice for Jussie Smollett.
- Rest in power to our fighter Larry Kramer. Your rage helped inspire a movement. We will keep honoring your name and spirit with action. In the spirit of ACT UP, join us and chant this (three times). #ACTUPFightbackENDAIDS #ACTUPFightbackENDAIDS #ACTUPFightbackENDAIDS
- Let us remind you that Freddie Mercury died of AIDS and that the fight to end it still continues. Rami Malek failed to mention that in his speech. #Oscars
- We spy a “Silence = Death” on Gottmik’s Keith Haring-influenced finale look. Congrats @gottmik on an awe-inspiring and historical run on Drag Race this season. We’re rooting for you!
- FUCK YOU!!!!!!!! YOUR COPS ARE PEPPER SPRAYING US AND YOU TWEET OUT THIS BULLSHIT MESSAGE?? EVERY QUEER PERSON HATES AND WANTS YOU TO ROT IN HELLOn the 50th Anniversary of #PrideMarch and the 51st Anniversary of Stonewall, NYC celebrates the Black, trans activists who built the movement and continue to lead today. #Pride npr.org/2020/06/27/883…
- Timeline cleanse: 1. U=U (Undetectable equals untransmittable) 2. PrEP saves lives 3. Stigma and slut-shaming kill
- A truly deranged opinion piece about Gaza protests out of the @nytimes that casts a father-daughter bonding moment as sinister and "not peaceful".
- 212,000 AMERICANS DEAD DUE TO A LACK OF COMPASSION, INACTION AND UTTER NEGLECT. THERE IS NO REMORSE FOR TRUMP CONTRACTING COVID-19. JUST ANGER.
- BREAKING: ACT UP NY member, Butch Molly, has chained themselves to a bench and announced a hunger strike in support of NYU's divestment campaign to end the genocide in Gaza. Come show your support at NYU Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn.
