Please write to Washington State reps and explain that there's a decades-old evidence base explaining that the End Demand model--which in the US looks like intensifying criminalization of clients---only increases violence against sworkers AND trafficking victims and survivors.

3/****So my FB account was reviewed and now it’s permanently disabled for “violating community standards”, no possibility of appeal. Does anyone know of a way to help with this so I don’t lose crucial fundraising and movement info sharing access after 16 years of building up that account?*****
