Gene Farley's Legacy to the Progressive Movement

Gene Farley 1927-2014

Gene Farley has passed away at age 86. Gene and his wife Linda, who preceded him in death, were supporters of SWWAP throughout the last 10 years. Gene was involved with helping plan the November 7, SWWAP ACA program. Gene's passion was the advocacy of single payer for America, and he worked tirelessly for the cause. The Farleys presented 2 programs on the subject of health care, and presented a documentary at another event. Their passion, grace and optimism will be greatly missed throughout the progressive community.
