Do you know what to do if a cop pulls you over?

How about if the police visit your home or stop you on the street?

SWOP-Boston will be giving a workshop on what protections you have under the law when dealing with law enforcement.

While the police do not inform you of your rights, they do exist and can be the difference between getting arrested and staying safe.

We will also be facilitating workshops on Self-Defense and Security Culture (i.e. how to avoid self-incrimination)

So come on down to the Community Church of Boston in Copley Square for an interactive and informative afternoon!

SWOP-Boston’s Film Screening of ‘Happy Endings?’

Thursday, 04 March 7:00 – 9:00 The Lucy Parsons Center

549 Columbus Avenue

(map)

An intriguing exploration of the Asian massage parlor industry in Providence, RI, where a 25 year-old loophole has made the exchange of sex for money legal — as long as it happens behind closed doors.  As the documentary follows a recent Korean immigrant, “Heather”, working to operate her spa, the city’s mayor fights to change the law that allows her business a legal existence.

The film includes interviews with Korean women who work in spas, clients who frequent the spas, politicians from 1980 and today, police, local news footage, radio call-in shows and “voiced” reviews from internet escort review boards.
