[SWAF-Potluck] All Prostituion Laws Struck Down by the SCC! We Win!!

[Stewart Cunningham]

Hi friends

Just wanted to send huge congratulations on the Supreme Court decision today. I've been back in Scotland for a year now but am glad to stay connected to the community in Vancouver. 

The victory today is such a sign of hope for sex workers everywhere. We defeated proposals to introduce the Swedish model to Scotland earlier in the year, which was a big relief, but are now dealing with heavy handed policing including raids on indoor premises ramped up. It's a total abolitionist stronghold here. Long way to go but we'll get there.

Enjoy the celebrations!
Stewart
