actupny: Join ACT UP to demand GENERIC PrEP NOW at AIDS Walk 2018! Mission: To get GILEAD Sciences (producers of PrEP) to release the patent on the only HIV prevention drug available in the U.S. and in turn dramatically lower the price of PrEP in the U.S. What: ACT UP NY will be having two die-ins on the route of the AIDS Walk. Additional activists will hand out fliers sharing the information related to this specific issue at-hand. When: SUNDAY, MAY 20, 9:30a.m.–11p.m. Where: Meet at Cedar Hill and East Drive (south of the intersection of East Drive and E 79th) Look for: ACT UP apparel, black balloons, white t-shirts, banners (we’ll make sure to be seen) Why? GILEAD Sciences is one of the top sponsors of AIDS Walk. Although we are not protesting GMHC, or the AIDS Walk, we are here to tell the community to divest in GILEAD Sciences and to spread awareness of the issue. -- source link
