National March for Sex Workers Rights
Dec. 17, 2008
Meet at Franklin Square (14st NW & Eye ST NW) near
McPherson Square Station for rally and speeches.
March Gathers at noon.
March ends at The White House (1600 Pennsylvania AVE)

Join the Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP-USA) as
we march on Washington to demand rights for all sex workers!
On Wednesday, December 17, 2008, advocates from across the
nation will converge to mark the International Day to End Violence
Against Sex Workers. Together, we will take a stand for justice, dignity,
and the freedom to do sex work safely and in dignity. We are calling
for an end to the unjust laws, policing, shaming and stigma that oppress
our communities and make us targets for violence. At this vibrant event,
we will both honor the lives lost in 2008 and celebrate our vital movement.
Some housing is available for out-of-towners - consider staying on to attend
our big party that weekend. On Dec. 17th, SWOP-USA and its allies in
harm reduction and social justice welcome your support as we march for
sex workers rights!
