ACT UP, an activist group
famous for its direct action against government inaction and
drug company profiteering involving AIDS, is widely acknowledged
as re-energizing civil disobedience tactics in America. From
its inception in 1987, ACT UP continually held 5-hour training
sessions for its members. DIVA TV taped one of these sessions
and edited a 29 minute video, which was originally telecast on
public access. The video describes how to do civil disobedience
and what must be planned for it to take place safely and successfully.
