The thing about ACT UP, as Sarah Schulman notes, is that there wasn’t time for protracted disagreements over strategy; people were dying of AIDS left and right.
SO, if some folks want to do X strategy for a protest but you wanted to do Y, ACT UP’s approach was to say “you do X and I’ll do Y.”

This is a much-abridged version of the post I just made on Instagram. A tiny handful of what we made last year. I guess this thing only allows four photos 🤷🏻♂️ or I’m maybe using it wrong. I wonder if I’ll have to chase people around the internet for the rest of my life.
