CHAPTER

Activist Efforts and Community Engagement Against the Briggs Initiative

The chapter focuses on the grassroots activism of Cleve and Amber against the Briggs Initiative in small towns in Central Valley, California. Cleve discreetly supports closeted individuals, while Amber engages working-class women to influence them against Prop 6, facing challenges like debates with opponents. Despite facing risks and threats, activists continue to provide safe spaces and educational resources to raise awareness about LGBTQ+ rights and the dangers of the initiative.
