DESCRIPTION:On October 27th in 1985, two HIV+ gay men chained themselves to the doors 
 of the old federal building at UN Plaza to protest government inaction on 
 HIV/AIDS. Soon they were joined by others, and maintained presence 24/7 for 
 the next several years. \n\nThey slept in tents and staffed an education 
 table, constantly pressuring the government to put funding and resources 
 into services for people living with HIV/AIDS. This was the spark for an 
 AIDS activism that used direct action tactics to accomplish its 
 goals.\n\nSound familiar? The Occupy movement draws many parallels to those 
 used in the ARC/AIDS Vigil. \n\nToday, people living with HIV/AIDS still 
 face many struggles - one of the most overwhelming of which being 
 homelessness. There are up to 2,500 homeless people with HIV/AIDS in SF. 
 50% of those became homeless due to real estate speculator eviction – 
 either through the Ellis Act or Owner Move In.\n\nWe will be speak out, 
 demanding that the new mayor of San Francisco commit to ENDING homelessness 
 for HIV+ people, queer youth and trans folks within 4 years. \n\nWe will 
 also be offering a housing advice clinic, needle exchange, free HIV 
 testing, and organic vegetarian lunch from 11am-2pm\n\n\n\nPLEASE:\n\nSHOW 
 UP WEARING RED\n\nPUBLICIZE THIS EVENT WIDELY\n\nJOIN THE 
 DISCUSSION\n\n\n\nOrganized by: AIDS Housing Alliance SF, Homonomixxx, and 
 St James Infimary.\n\nRSVP on FB:
