ACT UP's Los Angeles chapter had been controversial among the established gay agencies and political groups, but by 1989 the situation had become so dire that they all banned together to protest the Federal Building. A huge mob formed around the building urging the swift approval of new AIDS drugs. Eighty activists volunteered to be arrested, among them veterans Troy Perry and Tori Osborn the director of the Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center. It is among the largest civil disobedience actions of the LGBT rights movement.
