Asian Spa Workers Should Be Able to Report Violence Without Arrest - Next Steps
On February 15th, the House Judiciary Committee had a hearing for H7307 and H7165, both bills were held for further study. So far we have gathered almost 300 signatures on this petition. H7165 & S2441 will increase violence and exploitation against the most vulnerable women in RI.
Any serious attempt to promote public safety or end sex trafficking must include allowing ALL sex workers, sex trafficking survivors, and our clients (who are first responders in most cases of sex trafficking) to report violence without being charged with prostitution or massaging without a license. H7307 accomplishes this.
Action 1) We need your support right now! Please sign this petition In Support of H7307 and Opposition of H7165 & S2441
Action 2) When S2441 is scheduled for a hearing, we will need volunteers to attend this hearing and help read the stories from the sex workers & survivors’ story bank.
Action 3) Folks can email the Senate Jurdicary Committee with their written testimony. Please title your email “In Opposition to S2441- Please Amend”. We drafted an example letter that folks can use, or folks can write a more personal one. Please add your name, city, State & Zipcode to your written testimony.
