Protect Massage Worker Rights!
Event Page
Massage therapists, Santa Barbara residents, City Councilmembers... join us on June 3rd as we unpack evidence-based research and lived-experiences of the kind of support massage workers are actually requesting! Often sharing our visions and concerns does not feel safe in a government building, so let's do it in community and move at the speed of trust. #SafetyNotStigma
Thank you to our generous hosts at @orgullo.wine for the space and @feministfuturesucsb for sponsoring our shared meal <3

Learn how migrant sex workers are resisting ICE in LA with Chanelle Gallant (co-author of Not Your Rescue Project) and Dr. Kim Soriano
Migrant sex workers in Los Angeles are being abducted by ICE–but they are also fighting back. Join activist-scholar Chanelle Gallant, co-author of @notyourrescueprojectbook in conversation with Dr. Kim Soriano at @storiesbooksandcafe to explore how migrant sex workers’ lives and struggles in LA offer us a blueprint for resisting surveillance, criminalization & the “good immigrant” vs “bad immigrant” division.
Featuring a ritual offering of joy through the performance of @xochii_noche.
Let migrant sex workers inspire us to transform fear and uncertainty into creativity, power, empathy & noncompliance. For security, we’ll be registering participants. 🔗 in bio. Wheelchair accessible.
Hosted by Stories Books and Café.
