2SLGBTQIA+ Activist

Tuesday, January 20, 6:30 p.m., Tower Theatre, Bend

Drawn from his critically acclaimed memoir, When We Rise, Cleve Jones will share his 50-year personal and political journey to becoming a hero for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. Beginning with the electrifying atmosphere of 1970s San Francisco, he will take us through the Gay Liberation Movement, his mentorship with legendary Harvey Milk, the terrifying early years of the AIDS pandemic and his own rise to the forefront of activism as co-founder of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and AIDS Memorial Quilt. Speaking as both a witness to history and as one who critically shaped it, Jones will chronicle an era that forever changed both the fabric of our nation and the lives of millions of 2SLGBTQIA+ Americans.

FREE and OPEN to the public.
