DESCRIPTION:Human & Here: A Youth Led Community Event To Fight Violence Against Sex 
 Workers and Trans Women of Color \n\nSWAG presents this community event 
 against violence against sex workers and trans women of color and against 
 police brutality is sponsored by Red Light Legal, SWAG and LYRIC in 
 conjunction with the San Francisco Bay Area Sex Worker Film and Arts 
 Festival (May 15-24th in the Bay Area)\n\nJoin us as we mobilize resistance 
 and address the ongoing and violence and the lack of response to conditions 
 surrounding violence against sex workers and transgender women of color, 
 from police brutality to evictions to profiling to physical attacks, murder 
 and more. We come together to address the physical and structural violence 
 we face every day, and to remember and honor our community members, and to 
 create further action.\n\nRecently, over the course of several weeks, 
 community members including 4 transgender women of color one gender 
 nonconforming person were murdered. Just last month alone, we've seen three 
 black transgender women and one gender nonconforming person brutally 
 murdered: Ty Underwood, Lamia Beard, Goddess Edwards and Jazmin VashPayne. 
 Among those murdered was a San Francisco woman, Taja De Jesus.\n\n“This 
 country needs to recognize that there is crisis of violence against 
 transgender women of color, and that in order to create change, we must 
 support the voices and solutions brought by local advocates who for years 
 have endured the brunt of this violence and led the fight for justice...” 
  -- Kris Hayashi, Executive Director of Transgender Law Center\n\nWe also 
 come together to honor our many courageous community members, including 
 Monica Jones, her successful challenge to a discriminatory arrest for 
 prostitution and her international advocacy for sex work rights at the 
 United Nations. We support our resources and resistance at this community 
 organizing event.\n\nPresenters include: Isa Noyola (Transgender Law 
 Center), Kristina Dolgin (Red Light Legal), Declan Cante, Joshua Mootry 
 (SWAG) and more.\n\n\n\n
