EPISODE 005 - Chris Classen 

This June marks 50 years since the first permitted Pride Parade, taking place in Los Angeles in 1970, an audacious act in a time when your sexuality could leave you in handcuffs. In this week’s special episode, Chris Classen, VP of Events & Experiences at XPRIZE, takes the mic to talk with John D’Amico, former Mayor and current West Hollywood City Council Member, hitting topics like how the current health crisis compares to the fight against HIV/AIDS, and how radical optimism has guided LGBTQ+ activists over the years.
