Its imperative that legislators act now to protect over 1,, sex workers who find ourselves in reduced economic circumstances because of the chilled online speech that resulted from the recently passed federal legislation called FOSTA Fight Online Sex trafficking act.
Many sex workers find ourselves in desperate situations because of the loss of online spaces where we can exercise our constitutionally protected right to advertise, screen clients, and share safety information. Some have returned to or have resorted to more dangerous work conditions, such as street-based work, where we have little or no means to protect ourselves from violence or screen clients.
There is an immediate nationwide need for legislators to repeal these arbitrarily enforced anti-prostitution laws as a matter of public safety. As we put the state of Colorado on notice to repeal all of these bad laws, we note that all laws pertaining to human trafficking will remain enforceable. But the state needs to stop conflicting trafficking with adult consensual sex work. We the undersigned demand emergency suspension of the enforcement and prosecution of Colorado state anti prostitution laws known as Colorado 1 C.
