Product Description

Our most popular, iconic, must-have t-shirt. Black t-shirt with white “Silence = Death” text and pink triangle. Unless your SILENCE EQUALS DEATH shirt comes from ACT UP NY or another ACT UP Chapter, it’s not official and does not support ACT UP. All colors are true!

History: In 1987, six gay activists in New York formed the Silence = Death Project and began plastering posters around the city featuring a pink triangle on a black background stating simply ‘SILENCE = DEATH.’ In its manifesto, the Silence = Death Project drew parallels between the Nazi period and the AIDS crisis, declaring that ‘silence about the oppression and annihilation of gay people, then and now, must be broken as a matter of our survival.’ The slogan thus protested both taboos around discussion of safer sex and the unwillingness of some to resist societal injustice and governmental indifference. The six men who created the project later joined the protest group ACTUP and offered the logo to the group, with which we remain closely identified.
