On Friday 07/13 and Saturday 07/14, ACT UP - Milwaukee canvassed
Milwaukee bars with the Parallel track policy letter. The goal
of this action was to obtain signatures on these letters so they
could be mailed on Monday 07/17 to the National AIDS Program
Office.
The letter was created after a call was made by ACT UP - New York
for a national letter campaign in support of a Parallel Track for
investigational AIDS drugs.
"Parallel Track (PT) is a federal program that will permit the
use of investigational drugs for HIV disease by people who have
no therapeutic alternatives even before these drugs are approved
for marketing. The federal government has published a policy
statement on Pt in the Federal Register. Until July 20, the feds
will be entertaining comments from the public about PT. It's
imperative to the success of this policy that you write in its
support."
ACT UP - Milwaukee drafted a letter to this effect. I have
uploaded an ASCII format of the letter to the Misc. file section.
The file name is Parallel.ASC. Please download and reprint the
letter. It should be mailed to the address listed on the
letter. Please note, all letters must be received by the feds
by July 20. Letters should be sent by Wednesday 07/18. .
If you have any questions regarding this policy please feel free
to call ACTUP at 414-769-8708.
