Sex workers, street vendors protest police raids in Queens
Many rely on this work for survival.
Rights, not raids. That’s what sex workers and street vendors in Queens are demanding, following an increased crackdown on illegal brothels and unlicensed vendors along Roosevelt Avenue.
“Sex work is work. We are your neighbors. Our lives are not disposable materials for your political campaigns. Let’s work together to protect each other,” Fran Yu from the sex workers’ rights group Red Canary Song, said.
Activists gathered on the steps of Corona Plaza Tuesday to call for the removal of police officers and State Troopers from their neighborhoods. The recently ramped up campaign called “Operation Restore Roosevelt” aimed to address public safety.
I have to say, at least the DNC is consistent as they protest Israel defending itself from terrorists and object to illegal immigrants being referred to as illegal and women killing their unborn children is referred to as social justice.
They have all the answers, don't they?
The law be damned, because they are the law.
Naturally, this is AOC's district, not that that surprises anyone.
