Silence = Death Project

found: Wikipedia, July 11, 2017:Avram Finkelstein entry (The Silence=Death Project was the work of a six-person collective in New York City: Avram Finkelstein, Brian Howard, Oliver Johnston, Charles Kreloff, Chris Lione, and Jorge Soccarás; Finkelstein started the group in 1985 as a consciousness-raising group, but the content of their discussions at the height of the AIDS crisis was primarily political. In 1987, the group decided to create a poster to be wheatpasted around New York City. They created the Silence=Death poster using the title phrase and a pink triangle, which during the 1970s had become a gay pride symbol reclaimed by the gay community from its association with Nazi persecution of homosexuality. The Silence=Death poster was used by the newly-formed group ACT UP as a central image in their activist campaign against the AIDS epidemic) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silence%3DDeath_Project
