BPPP will be at the Supreme Court on Monday to observe USAID v Open Society International (a legal challenge that could free some US-based organizations from the Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath also known as the “anti-prostitution pledge” restriction on global HIV/AIDS funding). Look for up to the minute information via twitter and Facebook, in addition to checking in here.
BPPP will also be making connections with friends at A Kiss for Gabriela, a film and social media project featuring Gabriela Leite a prominent sex worker leader from Brazil, throughout the day to deepen our understanding of the issues from a global perspective. Filmmaker Laura Murray will be posting an inspirational video from Gabriela Leite about the importance of fighting the funding restriction along with background information about what happened when the Brazilian government did not sign the pledge and thereby rejected more than $40 million of US funding.
More background information about about the USAID v OSI case is now available online.
