Activist Groups and PWA Coalitions, U.S. and Canada

Updated January 1996

Since 1990 AIDS TREATMENT NEWS has published a list of ACT UP chapters, PWA coalitions, and buyers' clubs. This year the buyers clubs are listed separately. We called these numbers and listed only those we could verify; some are home telephones, not offices. Within states, the listings are alphabetical by city.

For information about ACT UP affiliates, call the ACT UP Network, 215/731-1844. For information about other PWA organizations, call the National Association of People Living With AIDS (NAPWA), 202/898-0414. If you know of organizations which you think should be included in next year's directory, please call AIDS TREATMENT NEWS at 800/TREAT-1-2.

Remember that there are well over ten thousand AIDS organizations in the U.S. alone; only a few can be included in this specialized list. To find out about services and organizations in your area, call the National AIDS Hotline, 800/342-AIDS, 24 hours a day; for the same information in Spanish, call 800/344-SIDA, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern time, 7 days a week.
