A note from Max Valerio about the memorial for Gianna Israel. I’m very sad I can’t be there.
Hello All,
Gianna Israel’s memorial will be at Femina Potens Gallery on Saturday, July 8th at 7:30 PM.
Femina Potens is located at: Femina Potens Gallery 465 S. Van Ness btwn 15th & 16th streets in San Francisco’s Mission District.
I was finally able to locate a space that was inexpensive, and open to the event. Femina Potens has a history of being cutting edge, and trans-friendly, it is an offbeat and artistic space with a lot of energy and activist intelligence. I think Gianna would have appreciated it.
Any donation, however small, that you can make to the space is appreciated. They do it all from donations.
It will be nice to meet whoever can attend this event. I know that not all of you are in the Bay area, and it may be impossible to attend. However, if you can make it, no matter where you are from – that would be wonderful. Bring a prayer, and a memory of Gianna.
Blessings —
Max Valerio
