Mother's
Voices
on
Needle
Exchange
9/20/97
One of the speakers at the needle exchange protest this week, discussed
in our editorial below, was Sheila Catherine Hair Fuoco, a volunteer with
"Mothers' Voices" who is HIV positive, and a mother of two children,
one of which was born HIV-positive. Mother's Voices, an AIDS action and
awareness group can be found online at http://www.mvoices.org.
Currently featured there is Mother's Voices' needle exchange report, at
http://www.mvoices.org/facts/needle_ex_toc.html.
Especially useful for DRCNet members is Mother's Voices needle exchange
Action forms, allowing visitors to send messages to their Senators, U.S.
Representatives, President Clinton and Secretary Shalala in support needle
exchange. Please visit http://www.mvoices.org/action/needle_ex.html
and take just a few moments to urge our government to lift the ban on use
of federal AIDS funds for needle exchange.
