  John Bell speaks at Republican National Committee protest

  John Bell reads a speech from a sheet of paper into a microphone during a protest at the headquarters of the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC, targeting Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush. He stands in front of several prop coffins, one with a sign that reads, "Bush's AIDS "Compassion": Spend Twice as Much on Prisons as on Health Care." Protesters behind Bell hold up signs that read, "Bush: Drug Company Puppet, Generic AIDS Drugs for Africa Now!" and, "Bush AIDS Policy: Coffins for Kids Not Condoms in Schools." The man on crutches in the right side of the photo is ACT UP Philadelphia member Joe West.
