      ab: The article examines the complex relationship between Act Up–Paris, a prominent AIDS activism group primarily composed of gay men, and Migrants Against AIDS, a smaller collective focused on the AIDS crisis among migrant populations in France, particularly those from North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. It highlights how both organizations initially shared common goals but faced significant challenges in collaboration due to differing perspectives on race, class, and the political etiology of AIDS. The article argues that while Act Up–Paris sought to unify various marginalized groups under a common front, Migrants Against AIDS emphasized the unique struggles of migrants and critiqued the dominance of white, middle-class gay men in the AIDS movement. Ultimately, the tensions between the two groups reflect broader social divides and the complexities of coalition-building among diverse activist communities in France.
