{"value"=>"<p>[From ACT UP Capsule History:]</p> <div class=\"note\"> <p>ACT UP returned to Albany in the second of a three-part New York State Capitol action. Thirteen ACT UP members seize the Division of Budget offices, chaining themselves to desks (all are arrested). Hundreds of others protest in the Capitol Concourse and the Legislative Office Building, disseminating information on the State's negligent response to all aspects of the AIDS crisis, and demanding increased AIDS funding in the new fiscal year state budget. ACT UP spearheads an investigation into newly-appointed New York City Mayor David Dinkins's selection of Dr. Woodrow Myers for Commissioner of Health. It finds that as Indiana State Health Commissioner, Myers endorsed and attempted to implement mandatory HIV testing, partner tracing and quarantine. After ACT UP protests at City Hall, Dinkins states that these policies will not be tolerated in NYC.</p></div>"}
