Yes on Prop K, Sadie Lune, Artist and Sex Worker at the Museum of Modern Art

Sadie Lune presents this first person performance piece "I WANT YOU," which won 1st Place at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art on September 11, 2008. San Francisco artist, Tony Labat invited San Franciscans to participate in this live art event based on the iconic "I Want You" poster. Labat offered one minute at the museum to "seize the voice of authority, to make demands of the public, and to be the finger-pointing Uncle Sam." Contest winners will be plastered over the city in on posters during election week. Sadie says, I Want You to Vote Yes on Prop K.
Written and Performed by Sadie Lune.

Sadie Lunie - I want you to know that I showed this video today in a presentation at my law school on decriminalization of prostitution. I believe that if sex-workers continue to speak up for themselves society will eventually have to listen. Great work, and keep up the fight!

Why is prostitution a crime?

Great Job, Sadie! Two thumbs up for the SF sex workers who raised their voices for their rights. Unfortunately this is a society that sees anything to do with sex as disgusting and evil. Prostitution is not a crime.

We would. If anybody good would run against him. This dickwad has run SF into the fucking ground, and nobody did anything about him.

But the public defender says they would be able to investigate trafficking.

Why do you think it is rare that people get a call about trafficking? Because those who are in a position to report trafficking, clients and sex workers, are criminalized.

It is beyond me how Gavin Newsom can approve of San Francisco being a "sanctuary city" for illegal aliens, and be so involved with Prop 8 for the gays, but turn his back on the sex workers.

When is San Francisco going to wake up and fire that opportunistic, lame excuse for a Mayor???

Good no more political sex scandals in San Franscisco. If prostitution is legal, men cannot be demonized for hiring prostitutes since it's legal.

CIA: 14,000 trafficked into US each year, 80% for sexual slavery.

Capt. Pardini of SFPD: "we wouldn't be able to investigate prostitution or locate these folks who are victims of trafficking. It's rare that we get a call that says 'I'm a victim of human trafficking.'"

Prop K would also prohibit using racial profiling, a tool in investigating brothels advertised as Asian massage parlors.

Sadie this is so great! I'm so proud of you. Definitely voting Yes on K, No on 8!!
