Silence=Death VOTE. Offset lithograph poster. 838x546 mm; 33x21 1/2 inches. AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power, [New York]. 1988.
Provenance: from the collection of Christopher Lione.
Issued in advance of the 1988 Presidential election. "The final poster in the series, the Silence = Death Vote poster, which appears on this issue's cover, was created to boost voting in the 1988 election, when the AIDS epidemic was at its peak. The poster challenged activists to educate themselves about candidates' positions on HIV-related issues and to cast their votes accordingly." [some also say it is gran fury] "Your vote is a weapon . . . use it. . . we are at war."
