I
support the City of SF Task Force on Prostitution recommendations and the
"Mitigating Violence against Prostitutes" resolution passed in
2000 by the Board of Supervisors, aimed at implementing such
recommendations, by calling on the city of San Francisco to actively
enforce laws against rape and other violence against sex workers, and for
the money (approx. $7.6 million each year) spent harassing and jailing
prostitutes to be used instead to provide resources and services.
US
PROStitutes Collective (US PROS) played a key role on the Task Force by
ensuring that the situation of women working on the street was not ignored
and in winning the final recommendation to end the criminalization of sex
workers. Contact US PROS if you would like to further support this effort
and/or to find out more. Please be sure to include the contact info below
when you copy, post on your website and in other ways distribute this
petition. Return to: US PROStitutes Collective, PO Box 14512, San Francisco, CA 94114 Tel: 415-626-4114, sf@crossroadswomen.net
