Town Hall on Race, Sexuality and Gender Post 2008 Elections
Friday, Nov. 21 | 4:00PM | The Loft, 2 Fl. Price Center East
There has been an outpouring of emotion - anger, happiness, fear, hope - regarding the results of the election. From informal conversations we have had with the community and from reading the responses posted on the CCC thought-spot board, it is clear that we are still strongly feeling the impact of the decisions made on the 4th.
We invite you to join us to come together as a community to continue this discussion.
UC San Diego's Campus Community Centers (the Cross-Cultural Center, the LGBT Resource Center and the Women's Center) invite the entire UC San Diego community to attend a town hall dialogue on the complexities of race, gender and sexuality post 2008 elections. Issues related to presidential politics, marriage equality, and civil rights have deeply impacted many in the UC San Diego community. Come join in the conversation.

WORLD AIDS DAY FILMS AT THE CCC
Mon., Dec. 1 | 11a-2:30p | CCC Comunidad Room
As a part of UCSD World AIDS Day activities, the CCC will be showing films that showcase diverse stories of people living with HIV/AIDS.
11-11:30 - SASA
This film tells the story of two women who are  HIV positive and domestic violence survivors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through their experiences, both women have been moved to become activists in their communities. They work to support women experiencing violence and those living with HIV/AIDS. They work on issues of prevention and are catalysts for change in their communities. This film is an inspiring look at two women's lives and a call to action for everyone to begin working to prevent violence against women and HIV infection now.
11:30-12:30 - PILLS PROFITS PROTEST: CHRONICLE OF THE GLOBAL AIDS MOVEMENT. Bring a brown bag lunch and join us for this film! We will provide drinks and desserts.
 An up-to-the minute documentary about AIDS treatment activism. It examines the national and international grass roots response to an epidemic that has already overshadowed the Black Death in terms of human lives lost. The demand for access to affordable treatment for 40 million people living with HIV, most of whom live in poor countries, represents one of the most successful political movements of contemporary history.
12:30-2:30 - LIFE SUPPORTInspired by a true story, LIFE SUPPORT uses a  mix of actors and real people from the HIV/AIDS community to tell the story of an HIV-positive Brooklyn woman named Ana (Queen Latifah), who channels her energy and regret over past drug addiction into working for Life Support, an AIDS outreach group. Ana, who contracted the virus by sharing drugs with her husband Slick (Wendell Pierce), displays an admirable though obsessive passion for her job that puts her health at risk, and her stubbornness threatens to drive her already fractured family away. |
