Rural HIV/AIDS Protest: 1991

  • Protest2
    Protests in 1991 & 1992 represented a response by an outraged rural population robbed of vital tax dollars necesary to maintain services in the countryside. As a result of these protests, rural AIDS service organizations prospered through the 1990s. Through the first half of this decade, Portland bureacrats eager to promote their careers co-opted the Statewide Planning Groups responsible for distribution of these tax dollars.

  • More_vigil_volunteers
    The AIDS/ARC Vigil on United Nations Plaza at the Civic Center first drew attention to the interrelated problems of poverty, homelessness and AIDS in 1985. Protestors chained themselves to the Federal Building to publicize the need for increased federal response to the crisis. Billy Russo, Harm Reduction Center of Southern Oregon founder, participated in the Vigil for three weeks in the spring of 1986. His participation influenced the evolution of the organization over its 20 year history.

About

Planned Giving

While there is the historical lack of meaningful research on planned giving, a team of economists and psychologists at the University of Oregon have found that donating money to charity activates regions of the brain associated with pleasure. 

There are many kinds of planned gifts, from simple bequests in a will or an estate plan, to annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, pooled income, life insurance, and life estates.  Please contact us if you are interested in activating these regions of your brain.
