By Ivan Espinoza-Madrigal
Legal Director, The Center for HIV Law and Policy

Remembering John Falkenberg, 1955 – 2013
At the beginning of this month, we lost John Falkenberg, a uniquely brilliant, generous and funny human being. Several of his friends wrote remembrances, and they all sound a strikingly similar theme. We reprint them here to honor, in a very small way, a very big life.

By Catherine Hanssens, Executive Director, CHLP
As visionary and organizer Bayard Rustin observed, the proof that one truly believes is in action. John Falkenberg was a true believer.
