A conversation with local candidates about the city we can build without criminalization by SWOPLA.

Robinson S.P.A.C.E.

Abstract:An evening conversation between SWOP LA members and local candidates who are envisioning a better future for Los Angeles. Discussion of carceral ‘solutions’ will not be allowed.

About this Event:Join SWOPLA and local candidates on May 28th as speakers weave together a vision of Los Angeles without criminalization and the city we could live in if we chose to invest in community care. We&#x27;re bringing together sex workers and candidates for various local political offices to discuss what a future without criminalization could look like for everyone.For the past two years, SWOPLA has worked with sex workers and activists to delve deep into the roots of racial and gender injustice and identify the actions we can take to transform our communities. We will be asking the candidates questions created and selected by sex workers and sex worker-organizers and hope to inspire some creative and visionary thinking.RSVP for an evening of engaging discussions where local candidates and SWOP LA folks dream out what a decriminalized Los Angeles would look like. The conversation will be held in The Robinson S.P.A.C.E. from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m, including a reception with light refreshments to follow the panel. Attendees will be required to wear masks.Directions and Parking:The venue is located at 104 Robinson St., right off of Beverly Blvd. Turning NE onto Robinson from Beverly, it is the third door on the right. There is construction happening on the road in front of the building, so it can be difficult to see, but it is very close to the corner. There is street parking available near the venue. The venue is about a 20 minute walk from the B/Red line at Vermont/Beverly and very close to the Beverly/Hoover stop on the 14 bus line.Accessibility:There is a ~1&quot; step up from the sidewalk into the front entrance of the venue that poses a barrier to people using wheeled mobility aids. We can help people up over the step or around to an alternate entrance, and will have someone in front of the venue to help coordinate.
