Frankie was a common presence in community rallies and protests. Photo Santiago Mej\u00eda<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When it came to standing for the rights of others, Frankie Rivera could be counted on.<\/p>\n<p>A dedicated activist who attended numerous marches and demonstrations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area armed with his Native American drum and long braided hair, Rivera died on Aug. 29 of brain cancer. He was 38.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis passion was second to none when it came to fighting for the rights of people. You gotta respect a man for that,\u201d said Ray Ysaguirre, a longtime friend of Rivera. \u201cNo matter what went on, this guy travelled from Sacramento on, just to be on the front lines. I call him a \u2018front-line brother.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Born in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District, Rivera grew up at 22nd and Florida streets, just two blocks from where Ysaguirre\u2019s family lived. Rivera was often seen prominently marching with the help of a prosthetic leg\u2014whether it was up Bernal Hill demanding justice for Alex Nieto, protesting outside of Local\u2019s Corner after the restaurant refused to serve Sandy Cuadra and her family, or protesting alongside AIM-West members against the oppression of indigenous peoples.<\/p>\n<p>Rivera wasn\u2019t always an activist though. A man of Navajo and Ta\u00edno ancestry, Rivera didn\u2019t meet his biological mother until the age of 15, and was serving a 10-year prison sentence by age 19.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always deep down inside had the spirituality inside, but lived a thug life of crime,\u201d Rivera wrote on his Native American Prisoner Network profile while still incarcerated.<\/p>\n<p>It was in prison where Rivera learned about his roots from fellow Native Americans and decided to dedicate his life to activism.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s had it rough,\u201d Ysaguirre said. \u201cHe made a few mistakes, like most of us. And he just bounced back. He\u2019s one of the most socially conscious brothers that I have ever met.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee Polanco, an elder with the Texas-based Coahuiltecan tribe who has counseled Native American inmates across the country, first met Rivera at the California Medical Facility, a state prison in Vacaville.<\/p>\n<p>One day when he entered his office at the prison, Polanco noticed a young man cleaning the floor on his hands and knees. Polanco later learned that man was Rivera, and grew curious as to why the active Rivera wasn\u2019t participating in the sweat lodge ceremonies. He later learned that Rivera had HIV, and that he didn\u2019t want to make the other inmates feel uncomfortable by smoking from the same pipe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe never gave up. I think highly of him,\u201d Polanco said on the Sept. 2 Bay Native Circle radio show. \u201cNavajo\u2019s should be very proud of him. Ta\u00edno\u2019s should be very proud of him. He made mistakes, but he had a good heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After being released from prison, Rivera met his girlfriend, where the two began a long distance relationship about nine years ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just hurts that he\u2019s gone. And I didn\u2019t get a chance to see him, to hold his hand and be there for him. I didn\u2019t get a chance to tell him face to face that I love him,\u201d she\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>She recalled their early years when Rivera would talk at length about the American Indian movement, even educating his girlfriend\u00a0on her own native Ta\u00edno history. She also remembers their most recent conversations, where Rivera revealed his struggles to find food to eat and about being taken advantage of by roommates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt hurt me so much to hear him constantly say he was lonely. He wanted to see me, and I was struggling to get to him. But I couldn\u2019t,\u201d she\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting her own battle with papillary thyroid cancer, she\u00a0had planned to make the lengthy trip from New York to California to visit with Rivera. Her health however never allowed for that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a real struggle for me. I\u2019m not aware of how much time left I have,\u201d she\u00a0said. \u201cBut at the end of the day, I feel like the best experience I\u2019ve had in my life was meeting Franklin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rivera is survived by his mother Laurene Killip, father Frank, step mother Linda, sisters Alicia, Celia, Josephina, Jasmine, Iesha and Celina, brothers Remo, Shaw and Bobby, and numerous other friends and family.<br \/>\nFor those who wish to donate towards Rivera\u2019s funeral and medical expenses, visit gofundme.com\/xa2yzuqk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[su_note note_color=&#8221;#f7f7f7&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Poem for Frankie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>You left with my heart when You departed &amp; now my soul is empty<\/em><br \/>\n<em> My lips are left without a word my tongue utters nonsense&#8230;my hands and knees quiver from the clammy coldness<\/em><br \/>\n<em> I feel like ice.
