Act up

Just remembered that I meant to say something about the group Act Up....this is a really fascinating organization for AIDS/HIV and GLBT rights. I think their emphasis in symbolic art is really interesting and effective in their movement. As the girl mentioned they are often extreme in their action, rhetoric and symbols...I wonder if this had been toned down would they have been more effective, because perhaps they could have lasted longer. Or I guess maintained a constant voice in the media?
