The National AIDS Memorial Grove honored U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi for “25 years in Congress as a national leader, champion and hero on the issue of HIV/AIDS and her avid support of the LGBT community during a special Community Volunteer Workday” at the Grove in San Francisco April 21.
Pelosi joined hundreds of volunteers—as she has done over the years—to plant trees, flowers and shrubs, helping maintain the grounds of the memorial she helped create in 1996 in memory and honor of those who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS.
The ceremony also featured a tribute by the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus. Photo of Pelosi hugging AIDS National Memorial Grove Executive Director John Cunningham courtesy of Kevin Herglotz
