This poster design was my ultimate (as in final) political effort for Act Up/LA- I was intending to get arrested while participating in the planned blockade of the Federal Building in Westwood, Los Angeles. However, two weeks prior to the event, I was struck by a hit-and-run vehicle, spent a week in the hospital, and two months in recuperation before. I did was involved in a few political actions after this, but never had the same ardor, especially after I and my late husband (it wasn’t legally recognized in 1989, but what the fuck did we care?) got negative results for our first (of many) HIV tests. I’ve always been a fair-weather activist.
