After all, most media coverage of us was negative, most legislation was misguided, and police and politicians were to be feared, not trusted or talked with. We kept our collective heads low, and tried not to attract too much attention.But in the past few years, we learned we can win when we engage. From pleasure product regulation and lube manufacturing, to Cal/OSHA and Prop 60, to sex work decriminalization and HIV policy, we’ve learned that we’re stronger and more effective when we demand a seat at the table. Over the next year, I want us to be at more and different tables. [/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type="1_4"][et_pb_sidebar admin_label="Sidebar" orientation="left" area="et_pb_widget_area_1" background_layout="light" remove_border="off" /][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
