ACT UP members demonstrate outside of Sen. Arlen Specter’s (D) Center City office June 30 to draw attention to HIV/AIDS issues, such as a lack of federal funding for AIDS housing and needle-exchange programs. About 100 supporters took part in the protest, marching from the Liberty Bell to Specter’s office at Sixth and Arch streets. The organization chose to target Specter because he sits on the Senate Appropriations Committee, which has jurisdiction over funding for government programs. Photo: Scott Drake
