The Rainbow Movement Pays Tribute to one of its Original Members, Paul “Bear” Vasquez, the Double Rainbow Guy

An original member of Ulrich’s The Rainbow Movement, Vasquez is the reason this group is focused on raising awareness and money for worthwhile causes.

“I was retired and trying to figure out what to do with my life when I saw the most incredible rainbow I have ever seen,” Ulrich recalled.

Through The Rainbow Movement, Ulrich is determined to honor Vasquez’s legacy.

One such initiative currently supported by The Rainbow Movement is the grassroots National Health Insurance Plan, a proposed option designed to save billions of dollars; and more importantly, to save lives.

“The Haven was one of the first organizations The Rainbow Movement tried to get behind,” recalled Ulrich.
