[Viva] Fwd: Jane - New Social Networking Group for HIV+ Women

[Tami Starlight]

Hi Denise,

I make every attempt to challenge myself and others on anti oppression. (in
that order)
See:
http://opirg.ca/ao/
AND
http://wiki.freegeekvancouver.org/article/What_is_Anti-Oppression%3F

Many so called support groups are terrible.
Especially if there is no understanding and working policy regarding anti
oppression.

Like I stated, I will be offline for a while tonight.
I may have a chance to ask Jackie about it, later this afternoon. Perhaps on
the ferry.

Talk soon and ENJOY THE WEATHER!
