Two great videos about ACT UP

Hi everyone,

I hope you'll watch these videos which were posted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the founding of ACT UP (one an independent documentary, one a clip from The Rachel Maddow Show).  ACT UP is an AIDS activist organization that has had major socio-political impact.  Vito Russo was a founder and proud member at the end of his life.  These videos will give you some extra background in preparation for Monday's screening of ZERO PATIENCE, a film that was highly influenced by ACT UP's political strategies.  They each include inspirational footage of ACT UP demonstrations.
