Organizing your own event.
There are many different types of events, and each
one can be as unique as you are! In general we
want to do 3 things by having events around Dec.
17th.
Educate
You can organize a march, protest, sit-in or some
other non-violent method of raising awareness.
Simply doing some sort of public art piece around
violence against sex workers on raising the public
consciousness around sex work and the violence
that they receive.
Honor
Honor the lives of sex workers on this day, either
by yourself or as an event.
Remember
Organize a public memorial event in your town.
Invite people to bring writings, stories,
readings, thoughts, related news items,
poems,
performances, etc. Make a circle at the event.
Take turns sharing. This will make for a wonderful
memorial and be great for consciousness raising
and outreach as well.
Specific ideas on how to do this:
- Bike rides
- Yoga classes
- Work shops
- March
