DESCRIPTION:Activist and artist Emi Koyama will be presenting this presentation and 
 discussion/video screening. Focusing on dynamics of the carceral state, 
 Koyama's most recent work, "State Violence, Sex Trade, and the Failure of 
 Anti-Trafficking Policies," developed from her extensive examination of 
 anti-trafficking frameworks, organizing and policies over the last 
 decade.\n\nHer 2011 zine, "War on Terror & War on Trafficking: A Sex Worker 
 Activist Confronts the Anti-Trafficking Movement" was a product of her 
 extensive research into the anti-trafficking movement, as she exposed 
 "false premises of the U.S. domestic anti-sex trafficking movement, and 
 challenged how the movement is increasingly aligning itself with the 
 fundamentalist Christian right and contributing to the militarization of 
 our society."\n\nKoyama's recent work focuses on "a call for a special 
 emphasis on the context of pervasive surveillance and criminalization of 
 communities of color, immigrants, street youth, as well as people in the 
 sex trade.... calling for a new multiracial coalition against state 
 violence and criminalization, instead of narrowly focusing on sex 
 workers’ rights or on sex trafficking."\n\nThe evening also includes a 
 selection of video clips from "Collateral Damage: Sex Workers and the 
 Anti-Trafficking Campaigns," "Normal- Real Stories from The Sex Industry," 
 " Last Rescue in Siam" by Empower and other work.\n
