LGBTQ Film Series: Longtime Companion

Five Points Center for Active Adults 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh

Don't miss out on our LGBTQIA+ Film Series screening! Join us for our monthly program on the fourth Tuesday of the month. We will be showcasing films with diverse themes around sexuality and gender. This program is co-hosted with the Carolina Aging Alliance. All folks 18 and older are welcome! January's Film is "Longtime Companion." Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as "Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder," we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn't-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today. The title of the film comes from the New York Times' refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as "Longtime Companions" of the deceased. Location: Five Points Center for Active Adults Age: 18 and older Cost: Free Register on RecLink

Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting

Pullen Park Community Center 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh

Hi CAC neighbors, Our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting is tomorrow evening Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 PM. Our meeting location is at the Pullen Community Center at 408 Ashe Avenue. This meeting is critical to making progress this year with Raleigh’s new community engagement efforts. As you may recall, it was a year ago in early February that District E City Councilor Christina Jones introduced a series of motions to re-establish the City of Raleigh’s recognition and support of CACs. While we’ve made some progress this past year, we have much to do this year. Including making sure every Raleigh resident has an equal opportunity to be represented by a CAC where they live. CAC volunteers and City staff need to work together to stand back up CACs in parts of town where they disappeared after the 2020 City Council vote to stop supporting CACs. As a CAC Chair and RCAC Chair, Christina Jones reminded the Council every month for 4 years that the City never came up with any new community engagement opportunities to replace CACs.  Almost a year ago Christina led the City Council to reverse that mistake from 2020.
