DESCRIPTION:The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has declared that Valentine's Day 
 will be "Margo St. James Day" in honor of COYOTE founder and the courageous 
 sex worker rights leader who passed away on January 11, 2021.\n\nPlease 
 join the St. James Infirmary and many from our communities for a tribute to 
 Margo St. James on Zoom on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2021.\n\nFriends 
 are also planning an online celebration of St. James' life on Mayday, May 
 1st, 2021.\n\n" “Veronica Vera, writer and former member of PONY 
 (Prostitutes of New York) said of San Francisco's "re-naming" of 
 Valentine's Day, "Margo turned St. Valentine's Day into a celebration of 
 women's liberty. She used the joy of the day to draw back the curtain on 
 laws that marginalized mainly women. It's taken all these years but look at 
 what the New York State Legislature finally did — they repealed a law 
 that sanctioned arresting people for standing on the street. Margo 
 championed the disparity in bad laws starting on Mother's Day, 1973 when 
 she founded COYOTE.” " Cynthia Laird (Bay Area Reporter).\n\nThe Board of 
 Supervisor's resolution declaring February 14the Margo St. James Day in San 
 Francisco can be found here:
