- - - - Gould discusses the protest against the AIDS crisis and the government's lack of action in response to the epidemic of AIDS. Within "Moving Politics", Gould introduces ACT UP, an organization founded by the gay community in response to the government's indifferent attitude to the AIDS epidemic. With ACT UP, the gay community delivers an empathetic and passion protest against AIDS, which emphasizes the importance of emotion , particularly anger and solidarity, in transitioning ideas and thoughts derived from emotion into reality and action.
    - - Gran Fury
        
        Gran Fury stemmed from the ACT UP organization, and was an AIDS activist artist collective from eleven members from ACT UP. The purpose of Gran Fury was to increase the effectiveness and emotional power of the protest, and increase knowledge regarding AIDS
      - The Gran Fury's collective message is that media and society's indifference inevitably leads to destruction. It attempted to shock society into realization the reality and depth of the issue regarding AIDS and the danger of society's tendency to turn to a blind eye. In one of the works, there is a poster that reads, "Kissing Doesn't Kill: Greed and Indifference Does". This is a powerful message towards society that attempted to place the blame onto those suffering from AIDS, as it returns the fault to the community that failed to reflect attentiveness to the issue.
    - - Though Munoz categorizes "hope" with "happiness" and "optimism", he also differentiates it from the latter two terms. While the latter two are feelings of individualized optimism and positivity, Munoz explains that hope can come in insurgent and political forms, as a group can be mobilized from a sense of shared hope. Munoz claims "Hope is a risk. But if the point is changing the world we must risk." . In this Munoz reiterates how hope can be a mobilizing force for change.
    - - In this work, Lorde writes how the failure to take action-- living in silence-- prevents one from truly facing and overcoming fears. Lorde bluntly states: "your silence will not protect you", as an awakening claim to those who have remained silently in fear under oppression. With this statement, Lorde claims that silence will not accomplish anything; it will not create change, particularly in respect to racism .
