Protest to Save the Chelsea STD Clinic
2013 Syphilis Among Men in NYC Map
The Chelsea STD Clinic on 9th Ave has been shuttered for renovations for 2-3 years. In the meantime, health officials are trying to send NY-ers to Riverside Clinic at 106th St. for STD testing, which will have a chilling effect on testing in the neighborhood.
Chelsea has the highest # of HIV, syphilis and gonorrhea diagnoses of any area in the country! That’s WITH a clinic, so now’s not the time to be reducing sexual health care for the largely LGBT clientele in Chelsea. Tell Mayor DeBlasio and City Hall that we won’t stand for a CLOSED Chelsea clinic.
What: ACT UP For The Chelsea STD Clinic
When: Wed 6/3 at 12pm
Where: West Side of City Hall; corner of Murray and Broadway
Directions: Take the N,R to City Hall or the 4,5,6 to BK Bridge City Hall
