The book traces the history of ACT UP/LA, whose members battled government and institutional neglect of the AIDS crisis during the 1980s and 1990s. The book shows how participants fought for adequate responses to the epidemic, and how they faced internal challenges to their organization's solidarity due to social inequalities.
