Saturday April 14th is the "Hookers Ball," sponsored by the Harvey Milk Democratic Club, to benefit the Erotic Services Providers Union. Here's a picture of the flyer for the event. The ESPU is a great organization which seeks to gain rights for sex workers through associating with organized labor and change legislation through methods of direct action to stop the discrimination of sex workers. Last year Slutwalk had an amazing speaker form the ESPU come and talk about her job to the crowd. Here is a link to the website which has of a vast amount of information on sex work and gaining legislation for "anti-discrimination" laws towards sex workers. http://espu-ca.org/wp/
