ACT UP FIGHT BACK FIGHT AIDS: Act Up Philadelphia
Since 1987, ACT UP Philadelphia has been fighting for justice for people living with HIV, and for the communities that are most devastated by the AIDS crisis- in Philadelphia, the US, and around the world. ACT UP Philadelphia is different- it sees the AIDS crisis as a political crisis, a 25-year-old catastrophe that was allowed to happen because of greed, racism, neglect, and bigotry. ACT UP Philadelphia also sees grassroots activists as powerful and effective enough to help bring about an end to the AIDS crisis- through confronting decision makers and holding them accountable, and through winning policy changes that save lives. ACT UP Philadelphia's leadership is diverse: black and white, straight and queer, young and old, HIV positive and HIV negative; they are a community united with an array of powerful organizations around the world led by people living with AIDS, driven by the struggle to win access to life-saving treatment and prevention tools for all who need them, breaking down the barriers erected by radical religious ideology, pharmaceutical industry greed, political indifference and silence.
Since the early 1980s, ADAPT has been a national network of activists with disabilities that employs nonviolent civil disobedience to demand change in policies that exclude people with disabilities from American society. After winning the "right to ride" - a national struggle for accessible public transportation - ADAPT is now fighting policies which lock people with disabilities away in nursing homes and other institutions. ADAPT members have helped thousands of people with disabilities get out of institutions to live autonomously in their own homes and communities. www.adapt.org

"Tell me, fellow workers, how can this be? A home of the brave and the land of the free. Starvation and misery is all that is free for poor hard-working masses like you and like me."
For 47 years, from the age of 5 until her exile from the mine country in 1931, she was the life and spirit of the Kentucky miners, not only as a nurse and midwife, but as a union organizer. These 47 years saw a great many troubles, tragedies, struggles, and victories, all of which she chronicled in song, so that the other miners and miners' wives would neither forgive nor forget.
In the black days of the Kentucky miners during the first years of the Depression, Aunt Molly carried on a bitter struggle against the operators undaunted by the sight of her fellow organizers being shot down in cold blood. "I have often wondered why they have not killed me - they have beat me and tear-gassed me and had me thrown in jail. Ah yes, they tried to get rid of me but somehow they failed."
B.U.G.A. U.P. AUSTRALIA:
Formed in 1978 by a group of health professionals and others disgusted at the prevalence of tobacco advertising, Billboard-Utilizing Graffitists Against Unhealthy Promotions (B.U.G.A. U.P.) rapidly made their mark on hoardings around the nation. By cleverly revising advertising slogans and disrupting tobacco sponsored events, the group revealed the true cost of tobacco company deception. Having racked up numerous fines and arrests over its 10 year existence, B.U.G.A. U.P. formally wound up in 1994 as federal and state governments finally began to take action to ban tobacco advertising in newspapers and magazines, on billboards, television and radio.

After years of inhumane living and working conditions, in 1921 the coal miners of Appalachia answered the call to organize. The largest armed uprising in US labor history, 12,000 workers from West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Ohio flooded Kanawha County, WV to setup a union by force. Vehemently anti-union, a local sheriff and the coal companies attacked the miners. Thousands of armed and angry miners rushed into the lush hills and winding paths of Blair Mountain to fight for the union. Federal troops were called in and the miners dispersed in order to avoid further bloodshed. At the time the struggle was seen as a failure, but in retrospect the Battle of Blair Mountain led directly to a much larger and stronger union movement!
The Porters and Maids Union was the first Black union to negotiate a contract with a major U.S. company.
A memorial to the big strike at Carnegie Steel in Pittsburgh in 1892. "That was a war between laboring men because these pinkertons were there under pay and the person who employed that force was safely placed away by the money that he has wrung from the sweat of the men employed in that mill, employing in their stead workmen to kill the men who made his money."
"This set is a series of 16 postcard reproductions of posters originally printed as part of Justseeds' Celebrate People's History poster series. The series is an on-going project producing posters that focus around important moments in 'people's history.' These are events, groups, and individuals that we should celebrate because of their importance in the struggle for social justice and freedom, but are instead buried or erased by dominant history. Posters celebrate these important acts of resistance, those who fought tirelessly for justice and truth, and the days on which we can claim victories for the forces of freedom." -(from the back of the printed cardboard case)

Hidden high on a balcony, our heroes are shown unveiling debauchery of epic proportion. With the curtains pulled back we witness the decadence of the closed meeting of political leaders of the world's eight most industrialized countries. They are huddled up beneath a chandelier wreathed in surveillance technology and machine guns. Ignored by the self-absorbed dinner party, a host of animal representatives from around the world has mounted a thunderous protest that rattles the window panes of the hall. On the left a cicada, an insect symbolic of rebirth and resurgence, is beginning to draw its sword. On the right is a shape shifting raccoon dog called a tanuki, master of tricks and disguises, who is said to possess the unique ability to morph into any object. For this special occasion it's a cherry pie to smack squarely in the face of the power-hungry...

On August 8th, 1988, hundreds of thousands of workers, students, monks, mothers, and children gathered in the streets all across Burma to demand an end to the brutal military dictatorship. Many carried photographs of Aung San, who had fought for and realized Burmese independence from British colonialism. As a response, the military junta sent troops to quell the uprising and in the following weeks 10,000 people were murdered. Thousands fled across the border into Thailand to gain refuge. Others joined rebel armies and took up arms to protect their people and fight for freedom. 8.8.88 made visible the resistance against the military and has become an enduring symbol of the Burmese struggle for democracy.

Great block-print portrait of Dr. Equi, a lesbian, anarchist, World War I war-resistor! She has been called the Emma Goldman of the Pacific Northwest.
In July, 1936, soon after General Franco's fascist troops revolted against the Spanish Republic, Buenaventura Durruti led a military column made up of 2,000 Anarchist workers to fight the fascists. Not a typical military unit, the column was organized by the soldiers themselves, with rank holding only minimal importance, and officers being elected by their units. In Zaragossa, the column defeated the much better equipped fascist troops. Near the end of 1936, Madrid was under bombing attacks by the Germans and Italians, and the now 4,000 soldier column moved there to join the fight. On November 20th, Durruti was killed. The column continued to fight until the end of the war.
The role the Durruti column played in supporting the social revolution happening across the Spanish countryside was as important as their military victories. They assisted in the establishment of agricultural collectives along their route and helped set up the directly democratic council of Aragon. Local political party bosses and rich landowners fled in a panic. They also upset the authoritarian Communist and Socialist parties, who believed the social revolution had to wait until after the war was won.
