Acclaimed author Michael G. Long tells the story of the devastating
AIDS crisis and the trailblazing activists who fought for dignity,
compassion, and treatment.
Act up! Fight back! Fight AIDS!
This was the slogan for ACT UP―or AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power―an
activist organization that emerged in the 1980s during the height of
the AIDS epidemic. The group was loud, direct, and confrontational as
it fought for access to treatment, compassionate care, and recognition
for everyone with HIV and AIDS.
Tracing the history of the LGBTQ+ community from the Stonewall Riots
and “gay liberation” movements to the groundbreaking protests of the
1980s and 1990s, Fight AIDS! is a gripping narrative of the AIDS
epidemic for young readers, told through the lens of the activism it
fostered. Focusing on the people most directly affected by the crisis
and on the individuals who fought for justice, it is an intimate and
humane account of one of the most devastating eras in United States
history and an electrifying celebration of the power ordinary citizens
have to enact meaningful change.
