 Are the die-ins in response to the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner succeeding in putting the spotlight on police violence? “The latest die-ins are some of the first to garner national attention since environmental activists in the 1970s donned Cold War-era gas masks on Earth Day and conducted die-ins to protest polluted air, or Aids activists – especially from Act-Up – staged die-ins and political funerals to protest the government’s failure to act to study or prevent the mass deaths of mostly gay men from Aids in the 1980s and 90s. In the latter case, predominantly gay and lesbian protesters targeted places like Wall Street, the Food and Drug Administration and the White House with calls of “Silence=Death”, calling attention to the fact that the government’s willingness to ignore a public health crisis functioned as a death sentence for those without available treatment – and they worked with allies to eventually make Aids a mainstream social cause.”
