DESCRIPTION:Film show, discussion & potluck  \n\nLes Prostitutées de Lyon Parlent  – 
 The Prostitutes of Lyon Speak  \nby Carole Roussopoulos\nOn June 3, 1975, 
 150 prostitute women occupied one of the main churches in the center of 
 Lyon, France.  A banner was hung over the church façade ‘Our children 
 don’t want their mothers in prison.’  The occupation was sparked by the 
 brutal torture and murder of sex workers, and a police crackdown.  Instead 
 of going after the murderer/s, the police were handing out fines and 
 threatening women with prison.  Within weeks churches had been occupied all 
 over France including in Paris.  The church occupations sparked the modern 
 day sex workers rights movement. 45 min  \n\nTales of the Grim Sleeper by 
 Nick Broomfield (excerpts)\nClips from Tales of the Grim Sleeper - a 
 devastating expose of the lack of value police placed on the lives of Black 
 women, many of whom were sex workers working the street in Los Angeles.  It 
 documents the case of the serial murders of Black women in LA, & law 
 enforcement and officials’ criminal neglect, also campaigning by the 
 Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders for police accountability and 
 justice for the victims and their families.   \n\n
