AIDS and Death, AIDS and $$$, AIDS and Politics

New York: ACT UP, 1987. Offset. 8 1/2 x 11 in Printed to recto and verso. Very good. Item #10465

Early ACT UP flier, with an AIDS Fact Sheet at verso along with a list of demands and anger at the goverment to recto. 

In this flier, ACT UP attacks government inactivity and “malignant neglect” and demands national education, testing, research, and treatment efforts and action to prohibit discrimination. The fact sheet on verso describes in detail the number of infections and death, increased by the homophobia and inaction of the government and pharmaceutical industry, describing that more than 20,000 Americans had already been killed by AIDS and predicting that by 1991, more Americans would die of AIDS each year than had died in the whole Vietnam War.

Produced in 1987, the year ACT UP was founded, and seemingly unrecorded. 

“There is NO national policy on AIDS in the U.S.A.”

Price: $150.00
