					<description><![CDATA[There is an awesome sex worker rights activist Bella Robinson of COYOTE &#038; ESPLERP who is in Rhode Island and has done amazing work in that region. She has challenged Chon directly and it&#039;s a very interesting account. 

I would love to see members of the sex worker rights activist community being more supportive of other activists, raising each other up and honoring each other&#039;s good work. 

I had to ask myself why she&#039;s not mentioned in this report.  I&#039;m going to assume she wasn&#039;t consulted even though the author lives in another region? 

Can we honor each other? Can we support each other? Regardless of what Orgs we may be or not be affiliated with? Our movement needs true solidarity to be successful. 

Living in Colorado I wouldn&#039;t write a report about Alaska without talking to Tara burns for example. After all, she&#039;s doing good work in that region. It&#039;s an opportunity to raise Tara up and make people aware of what she is doing right? Right.

It&#039;s just my opinion you can take it or leave it, I&#039;m not attempting to disparage the author- my intent is to highlight a means of establishing MUTUAL AID &#038; fortifying the impact of our movement. If people don&#039;t see the value in this- I do find that concerning in terms of being an effective movement rather than just a movement stuck in agitation cycle.  

How badly do we really want changes in policy?

Lives are at stake here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you, Robin, for posting this informative series. I personally find it to be a clear and effective guide to identifying key players, a critical component to understanding who and what our human rights movement is up against. I am presently working as a Chapter Relations coordinator with SWOP-USA, and will be suggesting that our Chapter Reps all examine this series to further their understanding of the political climate in America. 

Thanks again, great work.
