SWOP-Chicago: Call for Speakers/Accounts of Police Violence for
December 17th Event

In honor of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers,
SWOP Chicago is holding a panel discussion and vigil at the Jane
Addams Hull House on December 17th. SWOP is calling for current or
former sex workers to share their experiences of police violence at
the event. This call is also extended to those who have experienced
police brutality as a result of their gender identity/presentation.
Statements can be given in-person at the event or submitted
anonymously by e-mail and read aloud by a SWOP member. Speakers will
have approximately ten (10) minutes to share their stories during the
discussion portion of the evening. The event begins at 7:00 pm and
will end at 8:30 pm.

Through this event, we aim to raise awareness of the pervasive nature
of institutional violence and to honor the voices of those who have
experienced such brutality. If you are interested in contributing,
please contact sexwork...@gmail.com as soon as possible to discuss
further details. Translation services are available if needed. Thank
you!

In Solidarity,

SWOP Chicago
