VERY RARE -

This item is from my personal collection : This poster was produced during ACTUP's AIDS related protests in the late 1980's and early 90's: OWN a PIECE of HISTORY: This poster style was meant for NYC Subway car advertisement areas:

ACT UP - ACT UP (The AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) is a national and international nonpartisan activist group whose mission is to fight for "an end to the AIDS crisis." The ACT UP AIDS-related materials and to our wide-ranging storehouse of documentation of other grass-roots movements in the United States.

Founded in New York City in March 1987, ACT UP is an all-volunteer organization which has had chapters in all major U.S. cities as well as in Paris, London, and Sydney.

The ACT UP created major demonstrations of civil disobedience staged by the group in the 1980s, including the "actions" on the Food and Drug Administration (1988), St. Patrick's Cathedral / Stop The Church (1989), and the National Institutes of Health (1990). The goals of ACT UP's direct actions include: explicit prevention education (such as distribution of condoms and sex education in the schools), information about and access to treatments for AIDS, an end to discrimination against people with HIV/AIDS, including the loss of jobs and benefits, and an "emergency" effort to find a cure for the disease.

The ACT UP created placards that were carried during "actions," as well as other graphics and artifacts such as posters, stickers, buttons, and even a lab coat painted with bloody hand prints. These items, too, are documents, ones that succinctly communicate ACT UP's major concerns and the group's rage, as well as the rich mix of graphic creativity abounding in the community from which ACT UP sprang. Some of the headlines memorialized by these graphics include the famous "Silence = Death," and several powerful others: "AIDS: Where Is Your Rage?," "The CDC Is a Dead End," "The Government Has Blood on Its Hands," and "One AIDS Death Every Half Hour."
