ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power), was founded in NYC in 1987 as a political action group in response to the AIDS crisis. The group was co-founded by Larry Kramer who was tirelessly present in advocating for the group and confronting public officials.

This invitation was designed by artist Donald Moffett as a plea to elected officials to take action to find a treatment for AIDS.

The message is direct and poignant.

This card also served as an invitation to the Act Up Auction for Action, featuring over 300 artists. Measures approx. 6” x 11”

Invite has a center fold and 3 small thumbtack holes. Discoloration on the backside.

A rare piece of history from an important organization.
