We, the undersigned, ask that you, President Obama, please bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom upon the Founding Members of AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT UP). History has proven that this group saved millions of lives, not just American, but worldwide. At a time in our history when our very own government turned its back on us, a brave few stood up and made them listen and then react. To speak truth to power is one of the bravest things one can do. And they did. They fought for me and millions like me and because of that, today, I am still alive! I owe my life to them. Not to the pharmaceutical companies, but to those who fought to hold both the government and pharmaceutical companies accountable! Our country and the world owes them a huge debt of gratitude. Thank you.
