We at @SWAPHamilton are pleased to announce that the @CityofHamilton's City Hall and HAMILTON sign will be illuminated in red this December 17th to commemorate the annual International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. SWAP will host a press conference at City Hall starting at 10 AM. History of the event: @AnnieSprinkle and Robin Few, founders of the Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA (@SWOPUSA), organized a memorial and vigil on the lawn of San Francisco City Hall for the victims of the Green River serial killer in Seattle, WA. Gary Ridgway confessed to murdering at least 49 women, most of them sex workers, and was convicted on this day. It is now observed annually in cities across the world as the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. "No matter what you think about sex workers and the politics surrounding them, sex workers are a part of our neighborhoods, communities, and families." - Annie Sprinkle In Canada, Bill C-36, the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act (PCEPA), substantiates a polarizing narrative that (erroneously) frames all sex work as a form of inherent exploitation, all sex workers as victims, and all clients as violent criminals. The "end demand" laws perpetuate existing harm for sex workers, disproportionately impacting racialized, trans, im/migrant sex workers who are viewed as victims of exploitation but deemed unworthy of occupational protections. This commemorative action echoes #HamOnt City Council in 2023 stating that intimate partner and domestic partner violence in Hamilton is an epidemic. The truth is that many women sell sex for the same reason as they stay in abusive relationships: economic constraints. The illumination of City Hall and the HAMILTON sign are zero-cost, effective ways the City of Hamilton is showing solidarity for a community often reviled and often made vulnerable by stigma. Thank you to the Office of the City Manager @CluckieM for her cooperation in approving this request.

🗣️ Join us for an evening of critical community conversations on how we respond to hate and racism through solidarity, care, and shared knowledge. 📍CityLAB Hamilton (58 Jackson St W) 🕕 Nov 24 | 6–8 PM 🔗 Register now: tickettailor.com/events/mcma… #HamOnt #McMasterOCE
Panel Discussion: Critical Community Conversations: Community Responses to Hate and Racism, Solidarity, Community Care, and Shared Knowledge Recent attentions to White nationalist and supremacist groups training in Hamilton, White nationalist and supremacist symbols in public spaces, and continued hate crimes broadly have again generated calls for action. Often, these incidents are treated as aberrations, anomalies, or episodic. This treatment negates the years of harmful impact, and the work advanced by community members, leaders who experience hate, and organizations that have engaged communities to name these ongoing harms and offer supports and responses. This event will begin from a respect for the work and knowledge of those who have lived the impacts of White nationalist and supremacist hatred in Hamilton to provide space to name these ongoing harms and impacts, to share knowledge from community care work, and to build solidarities for the challenges before us and ahead.
