FREE ON-LINE SCREENING follow by Q&A:
As the coronavirus spreads, the crisis raises urgent questions about how we protect our people in the face of a mounting health and economic crisis of global proportions. What can organizers and community leaders learn from those on the frontlines of the AIDS pandemic both past and present? What time-tested and new forms of resistance and mutual aid can guide our collective response to COVID-19?

ABOUT THE FILM:
Join us for a free on-line screening of United in Anger: The History of ACT-UP, the award-winning documentary that traces the pioneering AIDS activist group that emerged from NYC during the 1980’s, demanding transformative change in the face of greed, bigotry and neglect.
