For several months now, cuts to HIV & other medical funds have made the news. The US is mentioned most often, but it isn't the only government following suit. Britain has made serious slashes to their budget as well.
Many are recalling the 80s when little to no funds were allocated to fight AIDS. Groups rose up to counter them, such as ACT UP, which Larry Kramer co-founded. They furthered the work of the Silence = Death Project, founded by Avram Finkelstein & others. The banner is back attacking government's lack of involvement in fighting HIV.
This isn't the part of the 80s we wanted back. Until every corporate, war hungry leader is dead I doubt much will ever change. The Trumps & their acolytes need to fall over dead for any good to be done. The orange asshat is a pestilence.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
