Join us in honoring the life and legacy of Lori Cannon, a beloved friend, 48th Ward neighbor, and LGBTQ+ activist. Lori spent her life fighting for the rights and recognition of people with HIV/AIDS, serving as the co-founder of ACT Up Chicago, an early volunteer for Chicago House, and a steering committee member for the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. In 1985, she co-founded Groceryland (formerly Open Hand), a food pantry and meals on wheels service for low-income people with AIDS. She was inducted into the Chicago LGBT Hall of Face in 1994. If you knew Lori would like to speak at the street naming ceremony, please send an email to [email protected].
