Someday, the AIDS crisis will be over. Remember that. And when that day comes -- when that day has come and gone, there'll be people alive on this earth -- gay people and straight people, men and women, black and white, who will hear the story that once there was a terrible disease in this country and all over the world, and that a brave group of people stood up and fought and, in some cases, gave their lives, so that other people might live and be free. - Vito Russo, 1988

ACT UP Austin’s Mission:
ACT UP Austin applies a social justice framework to improve the lives and contribute to the self-empowerment of people living with HIV/AIDS. We renounce the myth that HIV/AIDS can be solved exclusively through public health policy. We believe that HIV/AIDS does not exist in a vacuum; therefore we must simultaneously fight the forms of oppression that perpetuate the AIDS crisis. |
