On May 13, protesters from Africa Action and ACT UP, among others, held a civil disobedience protest outside a Democratic Party fundraiser in NYC to protest Obama's record on AIDS programs. As one protester put it: "he has consistently cut funding to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief."
