 MORALISTIC TRAFFICKING HYSTERIA\n\n \n\n!!URGENT CALL TO ACTION!!\nPEOPLE

 and allies!  Immigrant Rights activists! --Please vote YES ON PROPOSITION 
 K!\nWHEN:  MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3rd  6pm,\nWANTED: lion head masks, lion 
 dancers! \nAsian Drummers (taiko?), horns, kazoos and signs! \nPLEASE CALL 
 1-877-776-2004 x5 for info or if you plan to show up!\nBRING A RED 
 UMBRELLA.  IT IS GOING TO RAIN!\nMEET UP POINT: O’Farrell and Polk 
 streets \nmarch through the Tenderloin, stop at Asianweek’s offices (who 
 slated a No on K), and end at the park in Chinatown..\n\nPROTEST RACIAL 
 PROFILING OF ASIAN SEX WORK VENUES IN THE NAME OF “STOPPING 
 TRAFFICKING.”   PROTEST THE RACIST REPRESENTATIONS of the 
 [anti-prostitution] Asian Sex Slave campaigns!  There have been 0 
 convictions of human trafficking in San Francisco since 2006, but Gavin 
 Newsom was present during the raids of 17 massage parlors where he rescued 
 an allegedly underaged girl from forced prostitution. \n\nSTAND TOGETHER IN 
 SOLIDARITY WITH VOLUNTARY ASIAN SEX WORKERS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND BEYOND WHO 
 DEFEND THEIR RIGHT TO LIVELIHOOD. In Cambodia, in 2008 an anti-trafficking 
 policy change resulted in overnight criminal status of sex workers and drug 
 users to be imprisoned in detention camps, malnourished and abused by 
 authorities until their families can afford bail. The prisoners are 
 detained in the same detention camps used during the reign of Pol Pot.  
 This is all in an effort to prove that they are cracking down on child 
 trafficking.  NO ONE SEEMS TO BE FINDING the REAL TRAFFICKING VICTIMS so 
 they arrest and imprison voluntary sex workers.  \n\nDecriminalization 
 makes it safer for everyone involved and helps to uncover underworld 
 conditions that breed trafficking and exploitative prostitution.  DO NOT 
 BELIEVE when HARRIS & NEWSOM SAY they have any of our communities’  best 
 interest in mind.  \n\nPROTEST the exploitation of the sad victimized Asian 
 female victim.  The Asian woman/girl that seeks rescue is the ultimate 
 submissive stereotype. WE, ASIAN SEX WORKERS OPPOSE THE PRETTY WOMAN 
 PATRIARCHAL RESCUE MISSION IDEOLOGY, KAMALA HARRIS!  GIVE US RIGHTS NOT 
 RESCUE!\n\nSex workers of Asian descent have been misrepresented by Western 
 colonialism since the Gold Rush days of Chinese prostitutes in San 
 Francisco.  Criminalization of Sex Workers and their clients is NOT 
 necessary to find TRUE trafficking victims.  Criminalization of sex workers 
 makes them MORE vulnerable to labor abuses, workplace violence and MORE 
 vulnerable to making compromises in STD/violence prevention.   \n\n“My 
 name is Mariko Passion.  I am an artist, a woman of color and a community 
 activist locally and globally.  I live and do sex work in San Francisco, 
 please vote YES on Proposition K!”\n\n
