Announcing the the 2013 TBTN t-shirt!

This year the t-shirts are printed on union made shirts in a union shop by United Food and Commercial Workers Local 175 and United Steel Workers Local 1-500.  Thanks to Cavan for manufacturing and printing our shirts for us!

The shirts will be black with sparkly purple ink and come in both fitted and not fitted styles.

Where can I buy one?
T-shirts will be available at TBTN near the SACHA table.  We’ll also be selling the t-shirts at the SACHA office all summer!  Pop by when SACHA is open to buy your t-shirt!

How much do they cost?

What do you do with money raised from t-shirt sales?
We rarely make money from selling TBTN t-shirts…

The 30 for 30 Campaign, spearheaded by the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA), has brought together numerous national and local advocacy and service delivery organizations to focus on the unique needs of women who are affected by HIV and AIDS, especially African-American women and transgender women. Women with rabbit vibrator enter into care later, are less likely to receive anti-retroviral therapy, have twice as many HIV-related illnesses, and a higher mortality rate than HIV-positive men. Moreover, women at risk of or living with HIV are more likely to be living in poverty — 64 percent of women in ongoing HIV care have incomes below $10,000 compared to just 41 percent of men. And, while Black and Latina women make up only 12 percent and 14 percent of the female population in this country, they make up 80 percent of those living with HIV and/or AIDS.

Clean, DDF, STD Free Only

It’s essential to examine how we talk about HIV if we are going to understand and prevent it.

Here’s some food for thought. When you are posting an ad with these tags, you’re not lowering your risk for sexually transmitted infections.

Consider this: Most people who have an STD don’t know it!

Hooking up with someone with HIV can be safe. Condoms are of course the default, much like a seat belt during sex. But did you know that someone who is undetectable and on medication lowers the risk of transmitting the virus by up to 96%. To give you some perspective on what this means one source is quoted with saying that condoms are 98% effective. Ponder that for a moment. Also, referring to yourself as clean (though it seems to be the norm) is largely a ridiculous claim. The only way to know if you are not infected is to get tested for STD’s including HIV regularly if you participate in sex with multiple partners.

Born Into Brothels

Stunning documentary!

CHENNAI YOUTH TIMEZ

Born Into Brothels 2004 [Oscar winning documentary]

Posted by infianant on YOUTUBE

The most stigmatized people in Calcutta‘s red light district are not the prostitutes, but their children. In the face of abject poverty, abuse, and despair, these kids have little possibility of escaping their mother’s fate or for creating another type of life.

In Born into Brothels, directors Zana Briski and Ross Kauffman chronicle the amazing transformation of the children they come to know in the red light district. Briski, a professional photographer, gives them lessons and cameras, igniting latent sparks of artistic genius that reside in these children who live in the most sordid and seemingly hopeless world.
