[Viva] Open letter to VDLC / CUPE / Organize BC - re: anti sex work / anti trans panelist (action)

[Tami Starlight]

Forwarded from a national decolonize / intersectionality listserv.

As a admin and one of the founding members of VIVA I am hoping people sign up and even VIVA itself sign on.

Great opportunity for us all to learn about these issues. 

Be well.

> The Coalition Against Trans Antagonism is calling on Vancouver and District Labour Council CUPE BC and Organize BC to take a stand and recognize sex work as a human rights and a labour issue. Sex work is also a trans rights issue. We are asking that well-documented trans antagonist/transmisogynist and sex worker antagonist Yuly Chan be removed from the Evening Panel at the Vancouver Crossroads Conference. Please share widely and sign our open letter in support of our demands by contacting us.
