<br><br>ACT UP decided at its meeting last night on this action - the facebook link did work for me - we are looking into the events privacy settings.<div><br></div><div>We are meeting on 12/1/12 by the Park Street Fountain at 11:30. There will be a short media training and then we'll march to Kerry's house at 11:50, action starting at his house at 12. We are bringing chairs and some house-like props, and will go through a short narrative of the service cuts that have resulted from the $20 million in cuts over the last ten years - emphasizing cuts to housing, prevention outreach, needle exchange, food/nutrition, etc. There are 2 or 3 individuals living with HIV who will share their stories, there will be chanting, etc. Then we will have a die-in. Then we will march to downtown crossing, and people will have little quarter sheet flyers to distribute to passersby. And depending on the energy of the group, we will have a die-in at Downtown Crossing. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Definitely would love to see health justice folks there! </div><div>After our very successful town hall (over 50 people came), we had a very successful, small action outside of Kerry's house on thanksgiving (covered by AP in multiple news outlets: <a href="http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Activists-protest-HIV-program-cuts-by-Kerry-s-home-4057567.php" target="_blank">http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Activists-protest-HIV-program-cuts-by-Kerry-s-home-4057567.php</a>) and we are keeping with this demand and this theme. = No cuts to AIDS services and social services for low-income people in the fiscal cliff negotiations and tax wall street for revenue.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We need help making posters and holding banners, so if you would be able to commit to being a part of the action, let me know!</div><div><br></div><div>feel free to call or email me if you want more info:</div>
