The DuPage Glocal AIDS Action Network
(DGAAN) was formed with three purposes:
1.
To build a strong advocate voice in the DuPage area and to
expand that voice into local, national and international arenas.
2.
To find ways to network successfully and build an enduring
community
3.
To strengthen the lifeline, offering strands of hope to stop the
spread of AIDS glocally. The word “glocal,” an amalgam of global and
local, is to remind us that our efforts should be as far reaching as the
HIV/AIDS pandemic itself.
DGAAN is unusual since it contains different people
from different backgrounds, crossing boundaries, crossing lines. DGAAN
has members who are Catholic, Episcopal, Lutheran, Baptist and
Evangelical, Democrat and Republican, black and white, gay and straight, moms,
students and executives, HIV positive and HIV negative. It is a broad
network, not narrow, crossing social, religious and political barriers,
forming bonds among groups and recognizing that their differences can
compliment rather than conflict.
