Here in New York, hundreds of people rallied on Wall Street Thursday to mark the 20th anniversary of ACT UP — the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. Demonstrators called for healthcare reform including universal coverage and controls on drug pricing. At least 30 people were arrested in a die-in around the bull statue near Bowling Green. A giant banner read: “Health Care for All.”

ACT UP New York co-founder Eric Sawyer: “It is extremely painful for me to remember the hundreds of my colleagues from ACT UP who did not survive for 20 years to be here today, but I felt their presence, and I know that those of us who have survived are here to try to bring their messages to life. It was really empowering to see hundreds of people turn out for our launching a campaign for single-payer healthcare and drug-pricing controls.”
