Yvonne Simmons (1946-2022) A Life of Loving Activism

     Former Flying Focus associate and producer, activist, musician and
     friend of animals Yvonne Simmons died on July 2, 2022. At a virtual
     memorial held on September 25, friends and colleagues remembered Yvonne
     through her music, photos, videos, and stories shared by participants.
     On these two half-hour programs, viewers will get a sense of Yvonne's
     eclectic life, dedicated to ending violence against women, rescuing
     animals, teaching children peace, and supporting nonviolent struggles
     worldwide.

     Clips from some of the 25 or so programs Yvonne made with Flying Focus
     illustrate the survivor-empowering Clothesline Project, people opposing
     a US spy base in Yvonne's native England, Yvonne's work to bring aid to
     war-torn Yugoslavia, the movement Women in Black, and assisting people
     living on a garbage dump outside Lima, Peru.

     The memorial was hosted by KBOO producer Desiree Hellegers and Flying
     Focus co-founder Dan Handelman. Three speakers were members of Women's
     International League for Peace and Freedom, including the current and
     past presidents of WILPF USA and a local member. Yvonne's spirited
     personality continued through her last ten years of life as she
     struggled with dementia.

     Video for the virtual event was provided by Open Signal/Portland
     Community Media's Production Services, and the show was produced by Dan
     Handelman. Streaming made possible by Peace and Justice Works Iraq
     Affinity Group.
