ACT UP Changed Everything - Talk by Dan Glass
UK AIDS Memorial Quilt display
From giant condoms and political funerals to die-ins and blockbuster campaigns for PrEP and affordable HIV prevention, AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP) has transformed healthcare through fearless direct action, including the work of ACT UP in Glasgow and Edinburgh. In this inspiring talk, activist Dan Glass shares the movement's creative strategies, hard-won victories, and urgent fight for global access to lifesaving medicines, showing how bold, joyful activism can help end the HIV pandemic and build healthcare justice for all.
In celebration of and dedication to Christopher McGill — fabulous friend, comrade and producer of the 'Beautiful Trouble' and 'Don't Be Alarmed' documentaries.
