www.lambdaliterary.org/features/news/01/15/in-remembrance-jeanne-cordova/IN REMEMBRANCE: JEANNE CÓRDOVAby Victoria Brownworth January 15, 2016 Jeanne Córdova said “It’s the job of the young to push the societal envelope.” Córdova started doing that early and never stopped. She died just before dawn on Sunday, January 10, at her home in Los Angeles after a long, courageous and inspiring battle with cancer, her longtime partner Lynn Ballen by her side, as well as several of her closest friends. One of those friends, Jenny Pizer, said Córdova “was home with loved ones, and her close friend Dina Evans was on the phone with her.” Evans is a spiritual teacher and therapist and Pizer said she “helped Jeanne during the dying process.” We throw around the terms “icon,” “pioneer” and “hero” a little too readily. But Córdova was all of these and one only had to be coming up lesbian in the years immediately post-Stonewall to know just how important her footprint was for our community and for lesbians in particular. - See more at: www.lambdaliterary.org/features/news/01/15/in-remembrance-jeanne-cordova/#sthash.u1O5oUYw.dpuf

Jeanne Córdova dies at 67; activist and author chronicled lesbian feminist movement of 1970sJeanne Córdova, an activist, author and publisher whose magazine, the Lesbian Tide, chronicled the lesbian feminist movement of the 1970s, has died. She was 67. Córdova died of cancer Sunday at her home in Los Feliz, her spouse, Lynn Harris Ballen, said. A provocative, self-described "butch" who favored neckties and a close-cropped haircut, Córdova spent more than four decades fighting for lesbian visibility in both the feminist movement and the male-dominated gay-rights movement.

March 5th at Plummer Park in Fiesta Hall.
Farina will call Food Fetish after discussing with Lynn
I spoke to Rainbow Sound (they knew Jeanne) and they'd be happy to do the a/v but said that there is sound there but you have to hire their techs so to contact Plummer park first.

LA has lost a visionary, fierce, funny and passionate leader! Pioneering lesbian feminist Jeanne Cordova died this weekend and the Board of Supervisors will adjourn in her memory today. Jeanne was a friend (here we are with Torie Osborn at the kickoff of a proposed lesbian center a few years ago) and a constant leader in the struggle for LGBT equality. She organized the first national lesbian conference held at UCLA in the 1970s (which, as a very young assoc. dean of students, I got to sign off on and staff), created and published a national lesbian publication, The Lesbian Tide; and invented the Gay & Lesbian Community Yellow Pages. A visionary to the end, she recently established The Jeanne R. Córdova Fund at the Astraea Foundation to offer financial support to lesbians, feminists, and nonconforming communities. She was one of a kind and gone way too soon.

She was in her Los Angeles home with her partner of 25 years, radio talk show host Lynn Ballen, as well as her friends Jenny Pizer, Doreena Wong and Dina Evans. Córdova’s contributions to the lesbian community cannot be overstated, and they will continue on, as she chose to bequeath $2 million to The Astaea Lesbian Foundation for Justice to create The Jeanne R. Córdova Fund. The Fund will be devoted to the support of organizations focusing on movement building, human rights and journalism with a specific focus on Latina lesbians from South/Latin America and South African women; lesbians, feminists, lesbian feminists, butch and masculine gender nonconforming communities.

PASSAGES Feminist writer, activist Jeanne Cordova dies by Gretchen Rachel Hammond 2016-01-11 Pioneer feminist, activist, journalist, publisher and LGBT media figure Jeanne Cordova passed away Jan. 10 at the age of 67. According to Frontiers Media, Cordova died peacefully at her Los Angeles home in the early hours of the morning. Her spouse Lynn Ballen and friends were at her side. "I have always been fascinated by how a noisy swelling called a social movement arrives on the doorstep of an individual's life and how she responds to it," Cordova began in her 2011 memoir of love and revolution When We Were Outlaws. "Most ignore the calling of the unfathomable energies of our times. For the rest of us—how does one recognize a social movement when it comes calling at your door? And what greatness or despair might follow should you open the door and invite it into your life?" Cordova's life served as the quintessential answer to that question—one seeded from the moment she joined the Immaculate Heart of Mary order of nuns immediately out of high school and was inspired by the social justice work of the Sisters to become a community organizer and activist for the lesbian and gay communities.
