ACT UP PUTS THE FDA ON TRIAL: Tuesday, September 20, 1994

_The Accused_: The FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

_The Crimes_:  Murder of hundreds of thousands of women with AIDS and
                    other diseases.
               Deliberate indifference towards women's health.

_The Public Trial_:
               Tuesday, September 20, 1994
               High Noon
               FDA Headquarters
               Rockville, Maryland
* Women and men who care about women's lives are urged to attend!
* Women who have been denied access to clinical trials will be invited
     to bear witness to the FDA's shameful neglect of women's health.

_The Evidence_:
               FDA guidelines STILL do not mandate inclusion of women in
                    research!
               Women are STILL banned from research simply because of their
                    "childbearing potential!"
               Women with cancer, AIDS and other serious diseases STILL
                    cannot get access to potentially lifesaving new drugs.
               Drugs are STILL being approved and marketed with NO data on
                    how they will affect women's bodies.

PLEASE JOIN US! We will gather at 10:30 at the Twin Brooks (red line) Metro
Station. At 11:30, we will march the short distance to the FDA, where we
will rally until the trial at noon.
