Info

Founded in 1979, Community United Against Violence (CUAV) is a multicultural, anti-oppression organization working to end violence against and within our diverse lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning (LGBTQQ) communities. We believe that in order to end homophobia and heterosexism, we must confront all forms of oppression, including racism, sexism, ageism, classism, and ableism. WELCOME TO CUAV'S NEW WEBSITE! We encourage you to look around and find out more about the CUAV community, the work we do, and our vision for safe, resilient, healing LGBTQQ communities free from violence. Over the next few months we will be adding more resources and information about our work,please check back regularly. Thank you for your support! THANK YOU FOR HELPING US CELEBRATE OUR 29TH ANNIVERSARY! This year's Champions for Change celebration was a huge success--over 225 CUAV supporters came out on Thursday, March 20, 2008 to recognize our 29-year legacy of groundbreaking work, to honor the massive contributions of three inspiring local anti-violence heroes, and to strengthen our movement for safe, resilient LGBTQQ communities. Comedienne Marga Gomez, burlesque sensations Diamond Daggers and SF Boylesque, drumming troupe Taiko Ren, and DJ Olga T provided stellar entertainment. Thank you to all of our generous sponsors, dedicated event captains, committed volunteers, and fabulous attendees who made this event such a success-- we look forward to celebrating our 30th anniversary with you next year!
