Picture thanks to Kris Ericksen Rainbow Wellington is paying tribute to former member and marriage equality campaigner Jeremy Green, who died suddenly just over a week ago. Jeremy Green was farewelled at a service in Newtown last Tuesday. “It was as big a shock to me as it was for others to hear this sad news,” says Rainbow Wellington Chair Rawa Karetai. “I looked up to Jeremy. I worked alongside him during the marriage equality campaign and remember him being a friendly and helpful chap who offered wise counsel whenever I asked." Green had hoped to set up a trust to provide scholarships for GLBTI youth. Anyone who would like to share his memories and help pay respect to his life can contact Rainbow Wellington – rainbowwellington@gmail.com
