The May 17th Speakout on HIV/AIDS

Thanks to everyone who made yesterday's Speakout a success. You can see pictures from the event by clicking here.

After great presentations by Geno Dunington and Alex Lawson, Larry Bryant helped us form breakout groups for more intense discussion. Our breakout groups were Housing, Jobs, Youth, Stigma, Substance Use, and Women. All of the facilitators for the breakout groups were experts in their field and did an amazing job leading the group discussions.

Give us all a few days to process all the great information we got tonight, and nex week I hope to blog each day about a different breakout group and the issues they raised at the speakout.

Also, we got a lot of requests from folks to have Alex Lawson's powerpoint presentation from tonight. Alex will be putting it on the DC Fights Back website soon.

Today I have my hands full with HIV Vaccine Awareness Day Events, so be patient and I'll make sure we get the details from the Speakout online as soon as Danielle can type up all of those flip charts!
