7/10/09 Emi Koyama


Please join us Friday July 10, 2009 at 6:00PM Pacific as host, Ashley Thirstrup, talks with Emi Koyama, a local writer and social activist. Last year the city of Portland and the citizens of Montavilla 82nd neighborhood began a campaign to criminalize sex workers by creating a Prostitution Free Zone. Our guest along with other concerned citizens, created a community group called 82nd Cares in direct opposition to this repression. Last month she also helped to open up a safe center for sex workers in the same neighborhood called 82nd and Foster Hospitality Space for Women. We will also talk about her work and writing around broadening worker's rights for sex workers, and what other feminists can do to support.
