San Francisco Sex Information presents…

Ask the Doctor

Your questions about sex answered by Dr. Moser
Sex Educators very often end up telling our clients "You should talk to your doctor about that", but broaching sexual topics with medical professionals and getting competent and nonjudgmental care is often easier said than done. We've asked Dr. Charles Moser, author of "Health Care Without Shame", to come and share advice on how to empower clients to get the medical care they need.
Audre Lorde Room – 6:30 – 8:30 pm

American Indian Movement presents…

Elouise Brown: Dooda Desert Rock and Energy Policy in Indian Country

The community of Chaco Rio in the Navajo Nation (SW of Farmington, New Mexico) has been blockading entry to the site of a proposed 1,500 megawatt coal fired power plant
since December of 2006. Desert Rock would be the third coal plant within a 20-mile radius, in a region already suffering from extreme levels of toxic emissions.
Elouise Brown is a Diné (Navajo) traditionalist and president of the Doodá Desert Rock committee. She will speak about dangers posed by the coal industry, the exploitation of indigenous land by energy companies, and the ongoing struggle to prevent the Desert Rock plant from ever existing.
