Strategies and Solutions

In January 2009, the summit, “A Call to Action,” was held to bring together men from diverse
social, political and economic backgrounds to develop a process to organize, plan and execute
initiatives that would reshape our community through strategic leadership, collaboration, and
collective empowerment. The summit purpose was to impact our community by focusing on
shared goals and common interest for the benefit of males in the community.
The outcomes of the 2009 summit included:

• Brainstorming and prioritizing what the participants saw as the primary issues with males
in the community
• Developing consensus around the top 4-8 issues
• Identified programs and services in the community that worked effectively with males
• Discussed, collectively where do we go from here and next steps
The 2011 Summit is a “Response and Commitment to the Call” for Males in Crisis: The value of
youth and men to our community.

This is a FREE event that is open to the public. The focus of this summit is to bring together
individuals, organizations and institutions from diverse social, political and economic
background to initiate a solution-oriented process that brings together individuals, groups,
organizations, and institutions that work with all males. We will also collectively share strategies

DEPR Community | The 2nd Annual Red Pump/Red Tie Affair.

http://www.2010redpumpredtieaffair.eventbrite.com/  The Red Pump Project is an initiative to improve the awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls. Yes, HIV/AIDS affects both men and women as well as the young and mature BUT did you know out of the 1.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS that almost 280,00 of those people are women and that the largest number of HIV/AIDS diagnosis for women is aged 15-39. This makes HIV/AIDS the 5th leading death among women between the ages of 25-44. In 2005, African-American and Latina women accounted for 82% of the estimated total of HIV/AIDS diagnosis and represented 24% of of all the US women diagnosed combined. In 2006, teen girls aged 13-19 represented 39% of reported AIDS cases meanwhile 69% were African-American and 19% Latina. On the evening of December 1, 2010, JSW Media Group along with sponsors will present The 2nd Annual Red Pump/Red Tie Affair. A night of art, glamour, music and so much more to reduce discrimination
