Antiporn ministry NCOSE just came out against CA #SB357, a groundbreaking bill that repeals a vicious and racially discriminatory 'anti-loitering' law — long been used to harass women and trans people of color, regardless of if they're selling sex. endsexualexploitation.org/articles/ca-mu…
It's essentially property protection law. It allows police to arrest you for looking a certain way or in a certain place. It's a way for them to arrest you even if you haven't actually seen you breaking the law. A "walking while trans" law. eqca.org/sb357-senate-p…
NCOSE's rational? It's good to arrest people of color and trans people for being outside because white men are trying to exploit them! 
To justify this "support" of sex workers and people of color, who does NCOSE turn to? Oh, LAPD Vice! Turns out that it's difficult to 'save' sex workers unless you arrest them first! #SB357 would make that too difficult!
This is in direct opposition to NCOSE's alleged support of the (flawed) Nordic/Equality model, which theoretically focuses prosecution on buyers NOT sellers. But #SB357 is a bill that takes away penalties for selling!
NCOSE gives away the game. It's always been a lie.

NCOSE: We promise we're not targeting sex workers!
Also NCOSE: We hate to harass sex workers, and give them criminal records that impact future employment, but it turns out we have to! How else are we going to get to those evil pimps and traffickers!

#SB357 is scheduled for a vote tomorrow. It has been campaigned for by sex workers, trans people and communities of color. But the day before, NCOSE swoops in and tries to kill it. Disgusting. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText…
