DESCRIPTION:December 17th, International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers\nStand 
 with sex workers demanding that Mission Police stop arrests and prioritize 
 safety!\nNoon on December 17, 2018\nMission Police Station 630 Valencia 
 Street, SF\n\n· More women, particularly mothers, are being driven onto 
 the Mission streets due to increasing poverty, high rents, homelessness and 
 the federal FOSTA/SESTA law cracking down on online advertising.\n\n· 
 Instead of implementing the SF Police Department’s Prioritizing Safety 
 for Sex Workers Policy, the Mission police captain has established a Sex 
 Work Abatement Unit to aggressively arrest sex workers, clients and others 
 associated with sex workers in the central Mission.\n\n· These actions 
 contradict the SFPD policy which says that “criminalization of sex work 
 is one of the primary barriers to [sex workers] reporting violence to law 
 enforcement.”\n\n· Women of color, immigrant and trans women are 
 targeted for arrests. Stop this racist policing.\n\n· A vocal minority of 
 residents have been calling on the police to “eradicate” prostitution 
 from central Mission. Many other neighbors don’t support this approach 
 and refuse to be divided from sex workers, homeless people and others under 
 attack. \n\nAs sex workers and other local people we demand \n►an end to 
 the arrests \n►resources to help women get out of sex work if they 
 want.\n\nSupport the decriminalization of sex work for safety’s 
 sake!\n\nProtest called by the US PROStitutes Collective and Erotic Service 
 Providers Union.\n\nEndorsed by Rad Mission Neighbors\n\nFor more info:
