Street. More than 100 activists are arrested; ACT UP receives
major media coverage and issues central to the AIDS crisis are

date of 4/2/88 but there IS indication that it was part of the
"Nine Days of Rage" of ACT UP Actions beginning on May

state: "May 1st."] 5/1/88, 00:40:00

civil disobedience action against Daiichi Pharmaceuticals by members

PROBABLY 1992) [It can be noted that this office take-over utilized
the tactic of activists handcuffing themselves together inside
PVC tubing (from a "Greenpeace" tactic); CBS "60
Minutes" was also documenting this action, particularly focusing
on long-time ACT UP member Bob Rafsky shortly before he died February
1993.] 10/29/ 92(?), 00:40:00 [Bordowitz]

Needle Exchange Trial [tape 5] Trial Court footage of AIDS activists
arrested for distributing clean needles to IV drug addicts. This videotape labeled
in the following way: #5 Needle
Exchange Trial: Defendants Dan Williams; Parker. Of particular
side-interest on this tape is when Zoe Leonard (who was at the
time videotaping the proceedings) was called to the stand (22:00)
to testify for the defense; the Judge then spoke a diatribe on
the use of cameras in the courtroom and refused to allow her to
testify. It can be further noted that other people, particularily
John Schabel, later took over the subsequent camera work in the
court room. [note: footage documentation of the complete Trial
was organized by activists in the Needle Exchange Committee of
ACT UP/NY.
