ACT UP

ACT UP, an acronym for AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, is an international direct action advocacy group dedicated to ending AIDS. Its role in the transformation of HIV/AIDS research and treatment is often cited as a potential advocacy model for ME/CFS. ME patient-advocate Terri Wilder was an activist with ACT UP in New York before her ME diagnosis in 2016. Journalist and public health expert David Tuller, DPH, also has a background as an ACT UP activist, including being among those arrested at the first Wall Street ACT UP action in 1987. |title= |title===Online presence== |title=* Current website |title=* Historical website |title= |title===Learn more== |title=* How to Survive a Plague (book and 2012 documentary) |title=* Wikipedia article on direct action |title= |title===References== |title= |title= |title= |title= |title= |title=
