This month we are celebrating Cleve Jones and his 70th birthday! Cleve is an amazing champion and activist for the LGBTQ+ community. He arrived in San Francisco in the early 1970’s and worked for Harvey Milk. Cleve’s achievements are to long to list on this page, so on our next show we will ask him to talk about 7 of the most significant events or achievements of his life and who are some of the people who helped him along the way.
To commemorate his 70th birthday, Cleve Jones is throwing a big party on Friday, October 11, 2024, to celebrate his community and benefit organizations that serve it. This event is the launch of fundraising efforts for the new Cleve Jones Community Fund. The money raised by this party will support two organizations that Cleve founded or co-founded and will be administered by the Horizons Foundation. The AIDS Memorial Quilt humanizes the AIDS crisis and shares the story of AIDS to provide a widespread understanding of the devastation caused by AIDS and the lack of response to it. The San Francisco AIDS Foundation provides essential services for people with HIV/AIDS, with a mission to end the AIDS epidemic.
