In March 1987 a radical coalition of queer activists converged on
Wall Street ... their target, 'Business, Big Business, Business as
Usual ' It was ACT UP's first demonstration. In November 1999 a
radical coalition of environmental, labor, anarchist, queer, and
human rights activists converged in Seattle--their target was
similar, a system of global capitalism. Between 1987 and 1999 a new
project in activism had emerged unshackled from past ghosts.
Through innovative use of civil rights' era non-violent
disobedience, guerrilla theatre, and sophisticated media work, ACT
UP has helped transform the world of activism.
This anthology offers a history of ACT UP for a new generation of
activists and students. It is divided into five sections which
address the new social movements, the use of street theater to
reclaim public space, queer and sexual politics, new
media/electronic civil disobedience, and race and community
building. Contributions range across a diverse spectrum: The
Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition, Jubilee 2000,
Students for an Undemocratic Society, Fed Up Queers, Gender
Identity Center of Colorado, Triangle Foundation, Jacks of Color,
National Coalition for Sexual Freedom, Lower East Side Collective,
Community Labor Coalition, Church of Stop-Shopping, Indy Media
Collective, Black Radical Congress, The Theater of the Oppressed
Laboratory, Adelante Street Theater; HealthGAP, Housing Works,
SexPanic and, of course, ACT UP itself.
