On this date 250 ACT UP members in New York City demonstrated at Wall Street and Broadway to demand greater access to experimental AIDS drugs and for a coordinated national policy to fight the disease. An Op/Ed article by Larry Kramer published in the New York Times the previous day described some of the issues ACT UP was concerned with. Seventeen ACT UP members were arrested during this civil disobedience. A year later, on March 24, 1988, ACT UP returned to Wall Street for a larger demonstration in which over 100 people were arrested.
