Join us on Sunday, February 23 at 4:30 pm as we celebrate the life and legacy of longtime ACT UP member Nanette Kazaoka. Nanette was a fearless advocate for people with HIV, particularly in the early days of the AIDS crisis when she joined ACT UP/NY.
She remained an active member for over three decades, and served as our Treasurer for many years. She planned and participated in scores of actions, including the famous "Naked Action" held during the 2004 Republican National Convention to demand debt cancellation for developing nations. It was front page news and was covered around the world.
We welcome any friends and fellow activists who would like to help us create this memorial. If you'd like to be involved in its planning, email Mark Milano at [email protected]
