A network of AIDS advocacy organizations including ACT UP (AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power--chapters in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Diego, Rochester, Philadelphia, New Jersey, New Orleans, and elsewhere) and similar organizations such as AIDS Action Pledge and the ARC/AIDS Vigil (San Francisco), MASS ACT OUT (Boston), OUT (Washington, DC), C-FAR (Chicago), and several chapters of the National Association of People with AIDS will conduct coordinated demonstrations and other actions in over 30 c ities to focus public attention on the need for effective action on AIDS. Some of these actions will include nonviolent civil disobedience; others will be educational forums, fundraisers, etc. Persons who want to help out in AIDS advocacy could use this organizing effort to meet others in their area.

A coordinating group called ACT NOW (AIDS Coalition to Network, Organize, and Win), set up by these groups, organized communication for this effort, which is called Spring AIDS Actions '88. Each local group has determined and planned its own actions.

For more information, including how to contact the group in your area, call the ACT NOW national coordinator Terry Beswick, (415) 647-7972, or write ACT NOW, P.O. Box 146694, San Francisco, CA 94114-6694.
