Comment: Dr. Mehret Mandefro, TruthAIDS Founding Executive Director and featured physician in the documentary film All of Us, is taking the learning to the next level. She is inviting all who have seen the film, all interested in solidarity, public health, social justice, and civic engagement to take her online course on "Mass Collaborations" at the University of Orange where she is the Professor of Social Medicine. This is part of a larger communication strategy that is building on her "D, E, F" (demystifying, empowering, and moving forward) agenda presented in All of Us.
This online course will be a pilot experiment in "mass collaborations" and is open to activists, non-profits, PLHA, advocates, civil society, academicians, teachers, classrooms, and all students. Dr. Mehret Mandefro is announcing the initiative on a panel about the links between violence against women and HIV at the United States Conference on AIDS, September 19, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. Race, gender, class, place, and violence are at the heart of this epidemic and this affects us all.
The name TruthAIDS is a double-entendre. Telling the truth is not only important for HIV, it is important in order to advance the work of social justice. Check out Dr.Mehret's blog at drmehretmandefro.com, her website www.truthaids.org or subscribe to youtube.com/truthaids!
