Join us as we Slut Walk from the PEP Office to the Albuquerque Social Club in honor of the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers (aka "Red Umbrella Day"). Read more about Red Umbrella Day here. Read some background on Slut Walk here. We are thrilled to announce plans for our THIRD Albuquerque Red Umbrella Day! Here's the plan for Sunday, December 18th, 5-830pm: Meet at PEP (149 Jackson NE in ABQ) at 5pm. Bring signs for Slut Walk if you wish, or just bring yourself. Walk together to the Albuquerque Social Club (4021 Central NE), which is graciously allowing us to gather for the reading of the names (of sex workers murdered in 2011) and candle-lighting ceremony. After we read the names and light candles, we will open the floor for anyone to speak. We will be taking photographs. If you do not wish to be photographed, please let the event organizers, Brittany or Sera Miles, know prior to Dec 18th. Regarding Slut Walk, we want to note that we are aware of the controversy and varying view points about the name and purpose of Slut Walk. For our purposes, the Slut Walk is inclusive of sex workers and is a supporting pillar of Red Umbrella Day. Have a question? Want to talk with the organizers? Email seramiles@gmail.com. |
