Harvey and George were the brightest beacons of hope for San Francisco’s disenfranchised and displaced. But more than that, they represented the spirit of San Francisco, a city for anyone and everyone, welcoming to all, affordable to all, with justice for all. 35 years later, the time has come again for us to gather, one and all, to remember Harvey and George. More importantly, the time has come to make their vision of a city of hope come alive. Now more than ever, we have to give each other hope.
The vigil will begin at Milk Plaza at 7pm followed by a candlelight march down Market Street to City Hall. A performance by the Gay Men’s Chorus, words of inspiration from Dustin Lance Black, and a recorded message from Harvey Milk will conclude the evening.
ASL Interpretation and Spanish translation will be provided as well as accessible transportation from Milk Plaza to City Hall.
Also don’t miss the 25th Annual World AIDS Day mobilization on December 1st. The Castro Theater is screening the award-winning We Were Here which will be followed by a silent vigil on Castro Street at 9pm.
