Blood Donations: Creating an Inclusive Opportunity for All to Save Lives

August 28, 2008 in Campus UC Berkeley
Speaker:Jeff Manassero

View Listen 

Jeff Manassero, a recent Cal graduate and former ASUC senator, shares his innovative approach called “sponsored blood drives” in response to the FDA policy banning men who have sex with men from donating blood. Rather than protesting or recommending a ban on blood drives, Manassero spearheaded a campus effort for gay men to recruit donors in their place, allowing those who can’t donate blood to participate in the unique act of saving lives, while still making a statement.
