AIDS Treatment News #158, September 4, 1992
Persons from across the U. S. are invited if they (1) have ashes they want to bring, (2) do not have ashes but want to march (there will be a procession); or (3) want to send ashes but cannot come themselves. The group also hopes to encourage similar actions at other times and places, for example at campaign appearances of President Bush.
Although this political funeral is separate from The Names Project events of the previous days (see below), it has been endorsed by Names Project founder Cleve Jones.
The procession is tentatively set for 2:00 p. m., although arrangements are still being worked out. For more information, persons should call Eric Sawyer at ACT UP/New York, 212/564-AIDS, or at home, 212/864-5672, or write to: ACT UP/New York Columbus Day Project, 135 W 29th St., New York, NY 10003. Or call David Robinson, 415/252-7401.
Note: This is not a project of Stumpf/Kane (see "Political Funerals: Activist Organization Formed," AIDS TREATMENT NEWS #157, August 21, 1992), although the groups are working together. Stumpf/Kane has focused so far on the New York area, while the October 12 event was initiated from San Francisco and will have a national focus.
