Jones joined the gay liberation movement in the early 1970s. He was mentored by pioneer LGBT activist Harvey Milk and worked in Milk’s City Hall office as a student intern until Milk’s assassination in 1978. \nJones co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation in 1983 and founded The Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt\, one of the world’s largest community arts projects\, in 1987. The NAMES Project UK was launched by Scottish activist Alistair Hulme\, who witnessed an early display of the NAMES Project Aids Memorial Quilt in San Francisco. The UK AIDS Memorial Quilt represents over 500 people affected by HIV and AIDS in the UK. \nHarper Collins published Cleve’s first book\, “Stitching a Revolution\,” in 2000\, and Hachette Book Group published his new memoir\, When We Rise: My Life in the Movement\, in November 2016. The ABC TV mini-series inspired in part by stories from Cleve’s book was broadcast in February 2017 with a screenplay by Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black. \nThe evening’s proceeds will benefit the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Partnership. \nAbout the partnership: \nThe partnership is a coalition of 7 UK HIV support charities (Positive East\, Food Chain\, George House Trust\, THT\, Waverly Care\, Sahir House and Positively UK) working together to conserve and to ensure the Quilt is displayed as often as possible.
