Panel Discussion: Intersections of Activism: ACT UP, Visual AIDS, and Lambda Legal’s Impact on LGBTQ+ Justice

As part of the collaborative exhibition between Lambda Legal and the American LGBTQ+ Museum titled Queer Justice: 50 Years of Lambda Legal at the Forefront of LGBTQ+ Justice, we invite you to a panel conversation exploring the critical roles organizations like ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) and Visual AIDS in the context of landmark rulings that changed the face of American law. This conversation aims to complement the exhibition by shedding light on how the activism of individuals, collectives, and organizations during the AIDS crisis intersected with Lambda Legal's work and has shaped the course of LGBTQ+ justice over the past half-century.

The panel will feature Ron Goldberg (Author of Boy with the Bullhorn), Blake Paskal (Programs Associate, Visual AIDS), and José Abrigo (HIV Project Director, Lambda Legal), and will be moderated by Tim Murphy (HIV/AIDS Writer/Editor/Reporter).
