Sex Workers and Allies will be out and proud with SF Pride this year, come see all the great things we are doing:
SWOP-Norcal celebrated March 3rd, International Sex Worker Rights Day with a march from the Tenderloin Police Station to City Hall in San Francisco, CA. Several different press organizations were there to witness and record the event. Over 50 sex workers and supporters came from all over the bay area to attend along with 4 different SW rights organizations located in the Bay Area.
We had a tremendous time in San Francisco. If you have pictures from your area please share them with us. Thanks to everyone for participating in this important day. We really appreciate all our allies who showed up to march, play music, speak and to support your local sex workers.
