Curious about ACT UP's protests? They're having one right now.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the badass AIDS activist group ACT UP, who will do literally anything — get arrested, storm the New York Stock Exchange, sing morbid carols outside of Mayor Michael Nutter's house — to get their way.

Curious about what their legendary protests look like in person?

They're outside of City Hall right now, in hopes of pushing for the Mayor to provide $2 to $4 million in funding for housing for people with HIV/AIDS ... and they're doing something dubious with alarm clocks, fog horns and noisemakers.
