Update on AK HB 112 / SB 73: Cops On Sexual Contact During Investigations
The Anchorage Police Department is fighting a pair of state bills that would criminalize cops who have “sexual contact” with people under investigation. The reason for the opposition, according to Deputy Chief Sean Case, is that there are “very, very limited” situations in which cops need to cross that boundary — specifically, when it comes to undercover investigations of sex workers.

CA SB 1110: More Like “Lead” As In Poisonous Metal.
Who would think it appropriate to send cops to hotels, motels, restaurants, and farms - arrest workers who might be victims, seize their earnings, and threaten them with incarceration if they do not accept the 'help' that is offered to them? ISWFACE: http://www.policeprostitutionandpolitics.com

2016 D17 Philadelphia: International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers
The International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers has been recognized since 2003 and various memorial events have been held in Philadelphia since 2012. This is the first time a formal event is being held at City Hall, in direct response to ongoing attacks in Kensington, and the fact that a violent predator is still on the loose. Organizers M. Dante and Eris Vayle commented: “Brutal attacks and murders should not be synonymous with sex work. We hope to help deescalate the violence here in Philadelphia, and all of Pennsylvania. Our collective hopes to shed light and love to remind our community that justice for sex workers is a human rights issue. The violence dehumanizes us all, not just those who are the immediate victims.”
