Summary: 
The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network collaborated with six Canadian community-based organizations in 2003-2004 for a project to help communities mobilize against HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination. This report describes events leading up to a workshop involving all stakeholders, such as exchanges between participants on a listserv. It goes on to describe the workshop design and process, which involved activities on Day 1 to Understand Stigma; activities for identifying how to make change on Day 2; and developing plans for action by participants on Day 3. Appendices include a list of participants; examples of what participants wrote in the listserv exchanges; a detailed account of the workshop process; and the activities and plans developed by the participants.
