Overlaid in white is information about the ACT UP NY Health Fair featuring their co-sponsor Treatment Action Group (TAG). Text reads: Money for AIDS + Healthcare not for ICE or warfare. June 28, 2026 Sunday Pride. 12 - 5pm Thompson Street (Washington Square South and West 3rd Street) in front of Judson Memorial Church. The whole block is ours. For our healthcare. For survival. For our community. The photo credit for the image is Alexa Wilkinson @framed.unrest

Heading: Interviewer's Note

White body text with yellow highlights: "Since this interview was conducted, NYC’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) has announced that they will introduce city-funded and city-run gender-affirming care services for adults at their free clinic location in Corona, Queens. Although ACT UP NY is not mentioned in this announcement, we are sure that this decision is directly related to the campaigns detailed above.

The People’s CDC congratulates ACT UP NY. The fight will certainly continue to expand service locations and to include transgender youth."

An Interview with ACT UP New York about their public health advocacy campaigns.

This is part two of ACT UP's answer to the question "Since the founding of the NYC free condom program, have you had to do any maintenance advocacy to keep it alive?"

ACT UP New York continues "We had just begun a social media campaign about the defunded free condom program when, at the next meeting with DOHMH (we had arranged follow-up meetings with them until the problem was resolved), they announced that they had found a new source of funding for the condom program and it would resume over the summer.

That experience was a brutal lesson in how quickly the onset of a newer and concurrent crisis like COVID can be used as an excuse for bureaucratic negligence and indifference that is powerful enough to undermine one of an organization’s core missions, in this case, STD prevention through condom distribution."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "How are HIV and COVID connected?"

ACT UP New York answers "HIV and COVID have caused the deaths of millions of people. Much of the early response to COVID was informed by AIDS activists and experts who understood the nature of infectious diseases better than anybody.

Our history has taught us that the government is not going to protect us; we protect us. While ACT UP continues our fight to end AIDS, we also continue to fight for COVID prevention and treatment services, like free PCR tests, KN95+ masks, vaccines, and antivirals.

HIV/AIDS is not over, and neither is COVID."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "How do HIV and COVID or Long COVID affect the transgender community?"

ACT UP New York responds "HIV-positive and transgender people are at higher risk for COVID-19 and Long COVID than the general population.

Both populations face healthcare access barriers such as provider discrimination, loss of insurance, and rising costs, as well as racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities that impact their ability to get high-quality, affordable and timely health services."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "For people outside of NYC looking to advocate for the strengthening or the start of a free clinic system, a free condom program, gender affirming care or a free KN95 mask program in their areas, what should their first step be?"

ACT UP New York responds "[Start] with building relationships in all levels of government from your city council person to your state legislators. From there you pay attention to the budget [...]. However, this is not just about political organizing, but engaging communities who are in-need of healthcare with on-the-ground resources to promote public health.

For instance, ACT UP NY organizes the Health Fair each and every Pride month since 2021 to bring PPE, testing, and healthcare consultation to the people!"

The People’s CDC is starting a series of interviews with organizers doing public health advocacy on a local level in different regions across the United States.

This is part two of ACT UP's answer to the question "What is your free clinics advocacy campaign?"

ACT UP New York continues "For decades, the city has operated free sexual health clinics across the city [...]. The problem of clinic overcrowding is so bad that clinics can start turning walk-ins away earlier than [their 3:30pm closing time] because the line is too long and they would never be seen by close.

Perhaps the most diabolical aspect of the 3:30pm closing time is that clinics close right as high schools are ending their day, so students have little chance of walking in at a clinic outside of their school hours. Under 18 young people are a sexually active, high risk population that we want to reach with counseling and treatment, and DOHMH has essentially forgotten them!"

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "What goals is your free clinics advocacy campaign trying to accomplish?"

ACT UP New York answers "We are tired of the reduced hours, early closures and reduced geographic coverage at the Sexual Health Clinics. Eight million people cannot share 6 clinics. We are tired of the wind down of free COVID/Flu/RSV PCR testing and treatment services while the Flu and RSV still spread seasonally and while COVID still spreads year-round.

We are tired of DOHMH pitting one type of care against another and asking its constituents to choose who is able to receive care and for what ailment.

Revoking any service that once existed while that virus is still spreading is segregating the option to be treated away from those who have less money [...]."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "What is the NYC free condom program?"

ACT UP New York answers "The NYC free condom program gives away millions of free safer sex products like condoms and lubricant at 1,000 locations throughout the 5 boroughs of New York City. The program is managed by the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH).

The program ships safer sex products to bars, shops, community centers, health centers, and churches which enroll for the program through a web portal. The web portal allows everyday NY-ers to search for condoms, lubricant, etc by zip code."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "Since the founding of the NYC free condom program, have you had to do any maintenance advocacy to keep it alive?"

ACT UP New York answers "In 2023, after businesses had reopened and were seeing more patrons, we started hearing from bar staff that the condom program had not resumed and that the web portal used to order more safer sex products was broken.

We essentially pleaded with [DOHMH] how important condoms are to the LGBTQ+ community that is most at-risk for HIV, MPOX and other STDs, especially low-income people without regular access to healthcare. It was a bizarre dynamic for us as community members to have to explain to DOHMH staff how much the free condom program means to the community and HIV prevention."

White text with yellow highlights reads: "ACT UP New York talked about the NYC free condom program, the New York Health Act, and their advocacy for the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to strengthen their existing free clinic system with longer hours, more locations, free COVID/Flu/RSV PCR testing and city-run services for Gender Affirming Care, and to provide free access to KN95 masks in libraries, health centers, subways, and bus stations.

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

PCDC asks "What is your free clinics advocacy campaign?"

ACT UP New York answers "The free clinics campaign seeks to update and rethink how the city’s sexual health clinics operate in our new reality of increasing and ongoing deadly pandemics (HIV, COVID, MPOX, etc).

We began the free clinics campaign in 2024 after realizing that the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) was slowly winding down COVID testing and services in each borough of NYC and that operating hours at their existing sexual health clinics were not returning to pre-COVID schedules."

Whose lives will be changed by the freedom of choice provided by the mass availability of masks?

White text reads "On a collective level, the introduction of KN95/N95 masks created a change on a scale that society has not experienced since the mass adoption of condoms. With the introduction of condoms, over time there were enormous changes to how groups such as women, queer and trans people, and teens were able to interact with the world and what kinds of lives they had access to pursue. Condoms gave these groups access to preventing pregnancy and STIs confidentially and without the approval of any doctors or politicians. A new sense of bodily autonomy was unlocked." Between the lines of text is a group of people of all different skin tones, races and religions with different color clothing, and lower down a long-haired person with light brown skin doing a trick on a skateboard.

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

White text reads: "Infectious diseases can lead to long term damage and even death. About 18 million adults and 1 million children in the US report experiencing Long COVID. Additionally ~380,000 -790,000 were hospitalized with the flu during the 2025-2026 flu season,
~24,000-81,000 died from the flu in the 2025-2026 flu season, ~ 390,000-550,000 were hospitalized with COVID between October 2024 - September 2025, ~45,000-64,000 died from COVID between October 2024 - September 2025 and 1,963 people have contracted Measles in 2026 alone.

The COVID pandemic has and will continue to shape all of our lives in many ways. What will our world look like when KN95 and N95 masks have been around for 30 years?

White text reads: "Before the increased production of KN95 and N95 masks for medical and social use, the only technology that was widely available in the US for preventing airborne viruses was abstinence from social space. Isolation.

Surgical masks that had been implemented in prior pandemics such as SARS 1 were useful, but they worked best when the person who was sick could both realize that they were sick and then wear a mask, two things which cannot always be counted on."

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

White text reads: "With the mass availability of KN95 and N95 masks, for the first time the everyday wearer can prevent a vast amount of virus particles from reaching their body, independent of those around them who may be sick and not know it. What does this mean?"

The website peoplescdc.org is in the bottom right corner.

White text reads "On an individual level, having access to KN95/N95 masks could mean choosing to prevent illness before a big vacation that’s coming up, or before going on a date." This is illustrated with clip art of a colorful beach ball.

"Or it could mean not having to cancel plans with a relative, even when we are sick or when we're not sure if we're sick, because there is the freedom to wear a KN95/N95 and significantly reduce the risk to those around you."

A message on the 6 year anniversary of WHO's designation of COVID as a global pandemic.

"Six years of preventable illness and death, increasing authoritarianism, environmental devastation, and war.
