The Moment: March 24, 1987: The first ACT UP demonstration, on Wall Street in New York
Kalaya'an Mendoza has rebellion in his blood. Now a senior organizer with Amnesty International USA, he's directed his fury into nonviolent protest efforts, like the one that brought him to Ferguson, Mo., this August, to monitor police tactics after the killing of unarmed teen Michael Brown. But Mendoza is as much a lover as he is a fighter. "Aside from supporting movements worldwide," he says, "I'm trying to find a revolutionary who knows how to tenderly flush tear gas from my eyes and make out with me in front of a police line as a form of civil resistance."
