ACT UP Protest Draws 250 Marchers
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
ACT UP, the activist group whose brash tactics seek to publicize the plight of people with AIDS, marked its 10th anniversary with a demonstration in the heart of New York City’s financial district. The protest by about 250 people, who called for lower prices for AIDS-fighting drugs, came at a time when participation in the group has declined. Eight years ago, an ACT UP rally attracted 2,000 people.
