On June 2, 1975, over 100 sex workers began an eight-day occupation at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon, France. They demanded the end of fines, stigma, police harassment, and the release of 10 sex workers who had been imprisoned a few days earlier for soliciting. June 2nd has since become a benchmark day for honoring sex workers all over the globe and recognizing their often-exploited working conditions. 
This year, Kink Out is teaming up with Free Speech Coalition and Strippers United at The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles to present:

On International Wh*res’ Day 2022, Los Angeles’ MOCA and Kink Out, in collaboration with Free Speech Coalition and Strippers United, are creating a space for sex worker rights orgs and allies to come together.
Hosted by Emcee Natalie ’NatsHoney’ Clark, our program features:

• Contributions from Sinnamon Love and Lotus Lain
  
• DJ set by Ethical Drvgs
  
• Pole performance by members of Strippers United
  
• Food courtesy of Detroit Vesey
  
• Organizers actively involved in sex work policy and other community speakers are being invited to participate
  

Our IWD LA 2022 event sparks the ongoing conversations and collaborations that will take many forms and formats over time between MOCA and Kink Out, as we continue to bring people of intersectional identities with lived experience in BDSM culture together to share art, activism, work, and conversation.

We are also supporting an NYC Event:
