40,000 HIV diagnoses in this country every year.We could quote more depressing Centers for Disease Control statistics, but as we prepare for this year’s Queer Liberation March for Black Lives and Against Police Brutality in New York City, we want to take a moment to not rehash ACT UP’s heyday by telling the infamous stories of St Pat’s or the ashes demonstration on the White House lawn.And instead, use this moment as country continues to wake up to the importance of Black lives that we, as a movement, must begin to focus even more on the challenges faced by ACT UP’s women and members of color over the years.In the 1980s, it was widely believed women and people of color could not get AIDS — and it wasn’t just random people saying so.
