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

[Margarite Sanchez]

Hi all,
To answer your question Denise.
The number of women currently on the ViVA listserv is 45 and growing!!! All
fabulous, powerful and Positive!!!

Jackie just sent me this poster to forward to ViVA too.
I have written her with a few questions and will let you all know the
answers as soon as she gets back to me.

Anti oppression and a collective grassroots organization like ViVA, go hand
in hand. I am still learning but one thing is that anti oppression means
everyone feels safe to speak and share their thoughts and feelings without
fear of judgement.
