Bound, Not Gagged Happy Hour, May 9th, Washington DC
Apr 16th, 2009 by Viviane
The Desiree Alliance is pleased to invite you to attend a happy hour to support our web blog project, BoundNotGagged.com
BoundnotGagged.com is a place for sex workers to respond to the way that we’re portrayed in the media and the way that sexist laws are used to undermine our rights. It is one way that we respond to the injustice and hypocrisy that keeps sex workers’ voices muted and faces hidden. Sex workers may be forced into hiding, but we refuse to be silent.
The Desiree Alliance is committed to creating space and campaigns that address self-identified needs of sex workers. We are proud to sponsor this project to provide a platform where sex workers can speak for ourselves.
Please join us in Washington DC for our first ever meet-up with some of the blog contributors and other friends and allies for sex workers rights.
When: May 7th, 2009; 5-7pm
Where: Madam’s Organ, Soul Food Restaurant & Blues Bar, 2461 18th Street, NW Washington, DC 20009
This happy hour is a pre-event hosted in conjunction with Sex 2.0, focusing on the intersection of social media, feminism, and sexuality. BoundNotgagged.com is a proud sponsor of the second annual Sex 2.0 “un”-conference on May 9th, 2009 in Washington DC.
