Description
Peter Staley's memoir is an electrifying account of his life and activism. In 1987, he received a flyer about a massive AIDS demonstration, which led him to join the AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power - ACT UP. This pivotal moment changed the course of his life and ultimately saved millions of lives through pressure on the National Institutes of Health, the FDA, and three administrations. Staley's story is one of triumph, humiliation, joy, loss, and persistence as he organized some of ACT UP's most spectacular actions, including protests at the New York Stock Exchange. His experiences offer a unique insight into the inner workings of this influential activist group and its impact on the fight against AIDS. Through his memoir, Staley shares his personal journey and the explosive years that followed, providing a gripping and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in activism, politics, or the history of the LGBTQ+ movement.
