CATW Launches Its Second Campaign Against HBO

On September 23, 2008 CATW will once again hold a picket line protest in front of the corporate offices of HBO located at 1100 6th Avenue at 42nd St. to protest their reality series, "Cathouse" set in a brothel. We will address HBO's ongoing effort to glamorize prostitution by erasing its harms. HBO continues to distinguish itself as the industry leader in aggressively promoting the acceptance of prostitution which fuels sex trafficking by normalizing the demand for commercial sexual exploitation.
Please join CATW on our picket line as we continue to expose the truth about how HBO is acting like a pimp by continuing to profit from the world's oldest oppression.

When: September 23, 2008
Where: HBO Corporate offices
1100 Sixth Avenue, between 42nd and 43rd Streets
Time: 12:30pm-2pm

Participants and speakers will include:

Ambassador Mark Lagon, Senior Advisor on Trafficking in Persons, U.S. Department of State
Hon. John C. Liu, Council Member, New York City Council 20th District
Carol Smolenski, Executive Director, ECPAT - USA

Please help us get the word out by emailing this notice to your contact list.
