Editing ACT UP (section)

===General Post Office===
ACT UP held their next action at the New York City General Post Office on the night of April 15, 1987, to an audience of people filing last minute tax returns. This event also marked the beginning of the conflation of ACT UP with the [[Silence=Death Project]], which created a poster consisting of a right side up [[pink triangle]] (an upside-down pink triangle was used to mark gays in [[Nazi concentration camps]]) on a black background with the text "SILENCE = DEATH." Douglas Crimp said this demonstration showed the "media savvy" of ACT UP because the [[broadcasting|television media]] "routinely do stories about down-to-the-wire tax return filers." As such, ACT UP was virtually guaranteed media coverage.<ref name="crimp1"/>
