Peter Staley: Acting Up Against AIDS and COVID-19 - a podcast by Ben Plumley

Legendary activist Peter Staley joins us for a conversation on lessons learned from the fight against AIDS that have informed today’s global battle with COVID-19. We also discuss the evolution of Peter’s decades-long friendship with NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci, the lives that have been saved as a result, as well as Peter’s recently published memoir "Never Silent" which chronicles his activism journey with the iconic New York-based group Act Up.
