SWOP - What's it all about?

New topic....

Who is familiar with SWOP Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA?

http://www.swopusa.org/

Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of sex workers and their communities, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education and advocacy.

Sounds like a very worthy cause to me. Are any of you ladies involved with them?

Have not heard of it, perhaps someone could enlighten me...

I am the Houston Chapter President....what would you like to know?

I'm very familiar with SWOP. I thought about starting my own SWOP chapter in the
carolinas.. but it requires wayy too much of my time. Great cause though.

If you can pass the screening process, you can join the Houston Chapter.

lol what's that Dearhunter? Your screening process?

I thought about starting one in Nashville

SWOP is indeed a very worthy cause,though it does have a few problems. First, it is highly San Francisco-based and outlying chapters have trouble connecting unless they're large (for example, Chicago has a big one). Second, their chapter-forming requirements are pretty strict and many providers would find them intimidating. Third and most important...well, Amanda Brooks said it best: http://www.texasgoldengirl.com/after...rt-bell-curve/

Yeah, we decided the mother chapter in SF were a bunch of pussies.

If you are man enough, we will make you mayor.

I had an avatar advertising it once...

Taking a look at the swop website. I did NOT find it odd that chapters should be required to participate in 4 events a year locally.

But really fucking odd that 2 out of the 4 required events are a gay pride parade and a transgender "day of remembrance"

WTF.

(and DearHunter: if anyone should be the SWOP Houston President, it would obviously be monkeypaw)
