ACT UP! (Fight AIDS)
Okay, so I think I want to do my final paper on the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, also known as ACT UP. They basically started in New York in 1987 because a) there was rumored to be experimental treatments that the general public was being denied and b) they were unhappy with general policies/attitude toward both the HIV-infected community and the LGBT community. It's extraordinary interesting because ACT UP has been criticized for being too "militant" but I think they demonstrate how activism and civil disobedience can lead to policy change so... something along those lines?
