Sex Work Issues and the New York State Legislative Process

Tuesday , February 23rd, 6:00pm-8:30pm
At the Urban Justice Center in NYC

Ask most people about government and they tend to talk about their federal representatives, the White House, or maybe the Mayor. But the state government may have the most significant impacts on our daily lives, particularly in the realm of criminal justice. This two hour seminar is presented via a partnership ofSex Work Awareness and the Urban Justice Center’s Sex Workers Project. In it, sex workers, former sex workers, and allies will learn from a veteran staffer of the state legislature how the legislative process works, how to talk to elected officials about sex work issues, and what opportunities exist to engage with elected officials and affect change in Albany.

This is a FREE event, but you must RSVP to info@sexworkawareness.org.

For more information, please contact info@sexworkawareness.org.

Snacks and coffee will be provided.

This is a pilot of our legislative training – if it goes well and our community is interested in further skill-building, we will do follow up sessions.

If you are not able to attend this training but might be interested in a similar training in the future, please let us know.
