Shake it! at Fab Lounge TONIGHT!

Shake it up for Sex Worker Rights tonight at the Fab Lounge. All funds raised are for sex worker leadership institute.

A $5-$10 dollar donation gets you in the door. The party goes from 7:00 PM till 1:00 AM tonight (Thursday Sep 27th) and features:

• DJ Bent (reggaeton, funky, Bmore, Miami bass)
• DJ Mothersheister (girl garage bands, motown, African classics)
• Zon the Diabolical (funk, soul, old school hits)

There will be Middle Eastern Floor Shows at 8:00 and 9:00 PM. There will also be a "Bound 'n Gagged Silent Auction." I don't know what that is exactly, but I may have to stop by just to find out.

Darby Hickey Feature Article in CHAMP Newsletter

Local activist Darby Hickey has a great article in this month's CHAMP Newsletter. For those who don't know, CHAMP (Community HIV/AIDS Mobilization Project) is a very cool national project headed up by Julie Davids, which draws connections between HIV/AIDS, human rights, and struggles for social and economic justice.

Darbey writes about the lives of sex workers in DC and their efforts to organize, including efforts of local organizations like HIPS, La Clinica Del Pueblo, and Different Avenues.
