DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Vigil & Speakout\nWHEN: Monday, October 6th\nTIME: 6 pm to 7 
 pm\nWHERE: Castro & 18th Streets\n\nIn the annals of bloody misconduct by 
 members of the San Francisco Police Department, the events of October 6, 
 1989, and the Castro Sweep ranks high on anyone's list.\n\nIt was a 
 national day of protest organized by people with HIV/AIDS and our allies 
 for access to drugs and more government funding, and before the night was 
 over the SFPD had harmed and bloodied many LGBT and poz people with dozens 
 arrested.\n\nFor a short and comprehensive look back at what transpired 
 during the Castro Sweep exactly 25 years ago, check out this page with 
 eyewitness accounts, photographs and a video: 
 tinyurl.com/Castro-Sweep-25-years-ago.\n\nHere's how we will commemorate 
 the important 25th anniversary of the Castro Sweep.\n\nWe'll be out that 
 night to remind everyone of contemporary concerns such as the fatal 
 shooting of Alex Nieto by the SFPD, the gentrification of District 8 and 
 eviction epidemic, lack of affordable housing for low income people and 
 artists, the dwindling diversity of the Castro, harassment of homeless and 
 poor people, and the negative impacts of Google buses clogging our 
 streets\n\nThe Castro Sweep was big news among gay and AIDS activists, and 
 to assist the survivors of the police assaults with their legal and medical 
 bills, tee shirts were marketed reading:\n\n"My domestic partner went to 
 the Castro, and all I got was this bloody t-shirt. Night of Resistance, 
 October 6, 1989."\n\nThis photo and activist apparel courtesy of the GLBT
