Deadline: 1 November 2010
As a gender-non-conforming person of color, I've found that there are very few published works by and for members of my community about AIDS activism and trans justice. Whether we're struggling for trans justice and against the stigmatization and criminalization of HIV/AIDS in non-profits, prisons, community centers, shelters, unfunded collectives, immigrant detention centers, on the street or in the clinic, we all have stories that we can share and experiences we learn from and organize around. Through this zine, I'd like to share our resources, experiences, activism, political analysis, ways of surviving and expressing ourselves, ways we care for one another, in hopes of making our stories more visible and supporting one another.
I'd greatly appreciate contributions!
