LetsKickASS.org and The Community Initiative hosts the Definition of Brave, the first Bay Area forum focused on long-term HIV survivors on September 18, 2013 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The meeting is being held at the San Francisco LGBT Community Center, 1800 Market St., San Francisco, CA 94102.
Individuals testing HIV-positive during the first two decades of the AIDS Pandemic (the 1980s and 1990s) received in essence the equivalent of a death sentence. But, many people with HIV/AIDS are still living and thriving. Not only are they survivors, they are the Definition of Brave.
With courage and compassion they survived the darkest days of the epidemic. Without access to effective treatments, these long term survivors were forced to rely on themselves and each other and exhibited strengths they didn’t know they had.
Now it is time for long-term survivors to come together again to face the conundrums of midlife and aging. This free, grassroots town hall will be an opportunity to envision the next 20 years and start embracing survivors role as elders, teachers and leaders.
A diverse panel of long-term survivors—real people facing the similar issues will lead off the evening's discussion. The panel includes:
Will Boemer
Gregg Cassin
Ramon Espacio
Michael Siever
Gabriel Quinto
The meeting will be moderated by: Tez Anderson founder, Let's Kick (ASS)
The meeting is free and everyone with an interest is encouraged to attend.
