An online webinar on the way forward for policy and practices for sex worker rights in LA and California.
The Stop the Raids Committee (https://stoptheraids.org/) formed to address the onslaught of raids and arrests of members of our sex work community – including our clients. We fully expect that those raids will ramp up in the run up to Super Bowl LVI, which will be held Sunday February 13th, 2022 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
** Large sporting events like the Super Bowl see a huge increase in raids and arrests of sex workers, our clients, houseless people and others. Poverty and survival are being criminalized.
** Research shows that anti trafficking raids result in the devastation of everyone’s lives, and that actual victims don’t get help. See the IHRC report – https://humanrightsclinic.usc.edu/2021/11/15/over-policing-sex-trafficking-how-u-s-law-enforcement-should-reform-operations/.
