About the Donor

John Bonelli, MSW, graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Social Work in 1990.  He has been a community organizer and political activist since his undergraduate years at Trinity College in Hartford.  He ran as an openly gay, progressive candidate for Hartford City Council in 1989 as part of the People for Change (PFC) slate of candidates.  People for Change, founded in 1987, was a progressive multicultural coalition and political party made up of labor unions, neighborhood activists and Lgbt, Puerto Rican and African American communities and organizations.  The coalition also included environmental, citizen and women's issues activists.  PFC was successful in unseating members of the Republican minority party on the Hartford City Council in 1987, 1989 and 1991.  Mr. Bonelli was the statewide Co-chairperson of the CT Coalition for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights, a member of the Legislative Electoral Action Program, the Policy and Community Organizing Director for the CT Positive Action Coalition (HIV/AIDS issues) and a staff person, consultant, volunteer or MSW intern for various electoral campaigns including those of CT State Representatives Juan Figueroa and Evelyn Mantilla, City Councilpersons Louise Simmons and Susan Hyde, and United States Senate candidate Ned Lamont, and other campaigns.  He has been a campaign organizer, fundraiser and volunteer coordinator.  Mr. Bonelli has been an adjunct faculty member and advisor at UConn and Hunter College Schools of Social Work.  Presently, he works at the New York City based HIV prevention research group- Project ACHIEVE- as the recruitment and community relations coordinator and at the UCONN School of Social Work as a Field Education Coordinator.
