About 75 ACT-UP supporters rallied at Love Park Wednesday in support of funding for needle-exchange programs. The action was a response to a recent reinstitution of a ban on federal funding of exchange programs — initiatives activists say are effective in cutting down the spread of diseases like HIV and hepatitis C. Supporters marched to the offices of Sen. Pat Toomey, who supported the ban, to call for his support in reversing the decision. Photo: Scott Drake
