Changing these bad laws is ultimately what must be done if any real change is ever going to happen! We want an end to all arrests of consensual sex workers and clients! No more sex workers being turned into debt slaves to their respective states, no more municipalities sucking the life out of people who were struggling to begin with! No more human fuel for the so called rescue industry! They can go search for actual trafficking victims for a change, rather than damaging the lives of consensual sex workers with their narratives and activities.

If we win that case it would shake the foundation of the parasitical rescue industry, it would shake the foundation of the entire legal system which is likely why prosecutors and DA’s are indeed paying attention. Perhaps (and sadly) even more so than many sex worker activists! Even if we don’t win the case the first time around (just as the medical marijuana cases didn’t win the first time around) as activists the algorithm and attention this case will generate (which each of us can expand upon through doing whatever we can from where we stand) should be engaged and exploited by every dedicated sex worker activist to help us push OUR narratives up against the constant lies being generated by those who oppose us and seek to harm us.

I don’t know of any other legal case moving forward which is seeking to challenge prostitution law. If you know of any please let me know as I will rally behind every effort to tear down the injustice which sex workers and their clients face. It’s the only way we will ever really change things. All the potlucks, blogs, Twitter feeds, petitions and demonstrations in the world will never amount to what changing these laws will amount to!
