AFTER I DIE OF AIDS LEAVE MY BODY ON THE WHITE HOUSE STEPS

Throughout the AIDS crises, furious activists with advanced HIV disease have 
been sayint they want their deaths to help further the fight against this 
country's neglect and inconmpetence in the face of AIDS.  But until now, the 
idea of political funerals has remained just that--an idea.  Political 
funerals aren't part of the American activist tradition, as they are in 
Ireland, South Africa, and other countries.  For years, the desires of 
activists who want to make a final statement with their bodies have gotten 
lost in a flurry of bereavement, familial wishes and the plain American 
terror of death.  We think it's time our premature deaths carry some of the 
same fury and focus that have marked our lives.  We're establishing an 
organization that can carry out the directives of fellow PWA's who want 
political funerals.  Whether that means a procession down Fifth Avenue, 
delivery of the coffin to the White House, or whatever.  We're taking this 
action out of love and rage.  The times are only getting more desperate.

If you're interested, we'd like to talk to you.

Like I stated before, this was taken from a flyer that I picked up while at 
the New York Gay Pride Parade on June 28, 1992.  Sorry for any typos.
