[Guest]

I signed, I encourage all on the board to add their voice.

Amnesty International folks have voted on this policy to support decriminalization of sex work. They used an evidence based approach, and also actually talked to sexworkers across the globe.

 

As a result of their decision, they are now facing the backlash from the anti sex work powerful lobby groups. If you remember, the same kind of groups that Harper has decided get all the c36 20 million funding. They have started a campaign to encourage their supporters to stop donating to AI.

 

So i would just say that if you never thought about AI before, please do so now and show them your appreciation for adding their voice to the promotion of human rights for sex workers (and by extension, their clients, their employers, their children, their landlords, their tax accountants :) )

 

 

 

This is the onslaught & type of harassment & abusive comments amnestyonline is going thru since the policy was adopted today. this is just one example on one conversation started by an abolitionist attacker.

 

amnestyonline's patience dealing with each comment is impressive tho
