I believe that the snapshot Rayomah added relates to the video “United In Anger” because it shows gay people marching in protest on the street about healthcare. The biggest issue in the video is people who are infected with AIDS and activism around the situation. In the snapshot, we see people marching holding various signs like “Healthcare is an LGBTQ Issue”. This video discusses about the AIDS pandemic that was growing in the 80s and how it affected gay people. Another thing in the snapshot is that two in the crowd holding sings of the at-the-time president Donald Trump which expresses negative comments about bashing the gay community. According to the source that Rayomah provided via link, healthcare is being denied to AIDS patients due to their status of being poor. Transgendered people and queer who are born in color, being the target of losing health coverage due to tax cut. It also made queers the target being discriminated against which is most likely to lacking insurance and in society. I felt guilty for these people because they are being mistreated due to Trump denying access for the gay community to seeking AIDS/HIV treatment in need. Many people died from the effects of the virus after contracting the sexual diseases from infected people who they come in close contact with.

For the article named “How To Think Like An Activist” by Wendy Syfret, it mentions part of the story about people who are protesting against the government. In the snapshot, we see images of government officials such as Trump. According to page 46 of the article, millions of people around the globe participated in the march against Trump. The crowd included women, immigrants, LGBTQ community and people of color marching together to make a better change in American politics. I actually agree with the crowd’s decision for protesting against the government forces because they have been deprived so many times for their rights, because of their statuses as immigrants and others in same sex relationships. In my experience, I have never really been in a protest in public but I have seen them on TV and other media. For example, last year, I saw the protesters holding signs that say “Black Lives Matter” and pictures of loved ones who were murdered senselessly due to racial injustice. The movement changed the country’s police force because people protested racism and officers were being held accountable for their wrongdoings. It also led to defunding the police departments in certain states like Minnesota. These protests show that activism changes people from unjust causes. In general, the Black Lives Matter movement actually left an impact in the country because people of all races are still recovering from the aftermath of racial injustice. Both the video and article share the connections from the snapshot that they’re going against the government. Another subject I learned for my experience, is that the group Black Lives Matter is made for people who fight in order to gain equality for African Americans.
