Much like what we have learned in class, the LGBTQ+ community has focused on fighting for exposure and equality, and this poster emulates that fervor. I researched a bit about this poster, and it was created during Rudy Giuliani&#8217;s mayoral term of NYC. The first poster translates to &#8220;Zero cuts to &#8220;Single Room Only&#8221; housing&#8221;, and S.R.O.&#8217;s were significantly reduced in funding under Mayor Giuliani where the conditions were repulsive and there was a lack in social workers from the government. Overall, Mayor Giuliani attempted to abolish the presence of the Department of AIDS Services and made numerous budget cuts to government services. I have detailed more information about the resistance that ensued and the condition of S.R.O.&#8217;s below.<\/p>\n<h3>Resistance<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu\/content\/act-activists-resist-new-york-city-mayor-rudy-giuliani-s-aids-policies-1994-95\">https:\/\/nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu\/content\/act-activists-resist-new-york-city-mayor-rudy-giuliani-s-aids-policies-1994-95<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>S.R.O.
