DESCRIPTION:   Following from the San Francisco Task Force on Prostitution Report, the 
 SF Board of Supervisors (BOS) passed a resolution that those accused of 
 rape and other violent crimes against sex workers should be arrested and 
 vigorously prosecuted, and that the $7.6 million spent on enforcing 
 anti-prostitution laws be redirected into resources and services. And 
 resulting from a campaign for the rights of homeless people, the DA agreed 
 to an Amnesty which withdraws all pending warrants against homeless people 
 for so-called nuisance “crimes”, the same laws used against sex workers 
 on the street.   The community dialogue will give an update on efforts for 
 prevention of violence against prostitute women caused by criminalization, 
 including implementation of the BOS resolution and extending the Amnesty to 
 sex workers.  The Community Dialogue aims to bring together: sex workers; 
 church workers; community residents; the legal community; organized labor; 
 ex-cons; youth; LGBT; communities of color and immigrants; homeless people; 
 anti-war, anti-poverty and anti-racist activists; prisoner rights groups 
 and others working for justice and to protect the rights of anyone 
 criminalized by poverty to discuss these vital issues.  Come help 
 prioritize: the protection of sex workers over prosecution and jail; an end 
 to violence against sex workers and all women, and for justice for all of 
 us made vulnerable to violence and other degradation by poverty and lack of 
 resources.  While billions is spent on war and occupation, practically 
 nothing is available for women and communities!   Sponsored by In Defense 
 of Prostitute Women’s Safety, a project of US PROStitutes Collective and 
 Legal Action for Women.    Co-sponsored by: Wages Due Lesbians; Women of 
 Color in the Global Women’s Strike.    Call for more info (415) 626-4114
