Last night, Metro DC PFLAG honored Jesus Chavez, who has served as our outstanding Director of Operations for the past three years. We wish him well in his new endeavors back home in California.
In his quiet, yet persistent, work to improve the lives of LGBTQ people and their families, Jesus has exemplified what Robert Kennedy spoke of more than 50 years ago in Capetown: “It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”
Jesus is such a man.
