Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! The photo in my profile is of me marching in the 1996 AIDS Walk Washington DC. That was 28 years ago!!!!! As many of you know, for over 30 years I have been an ally of LGBTQIA+ communities and an active volunteer with AIDS-related organizations.

Since 2018, I have served on the Board of Directors of the National AIDS Memorial, which is the team that I am marching with. I am actively involved with our Surviving Voices Program, annually producing and distributing short documentary films that share the histories of communities historically impacted by AIDS whose stories can be excluded from mainstream HIV/AIDS narratives. [FYI: You can access these films here: https://www.aidsmemorial.org/surviving-voices].

Additionally, I am involved in our Pedro Zamora Young Leaders Scholarship Program, which continues Pedro's [the Real World San Francisco, 1994] legacy by supporting the academic pursuits of young activists. I also am an AIDS Memorial Quilt panel repair volunteer, which is an excellent opportunity for maintaining the largest piece of community folk art in the world.

Your donation supports these programs and others and the broader mission of the National AIDS Memorial. Please help me achieve my fundraising goal this year by making a donation here to the 2024 AIDS Walk San Francisco.
