SUMMARY:Paper Dolls: A Midnight Ballet in the Hudson Valley at ASSEMBLY
DESCRIPTION:https://www.tixr.com/groups/assembly/events/paper-dolls-a-midni
 ght-ballet-in-the-hudson-valley-202412\n\nPaper Dolls is an immersive nigh
 t of performance art and collective action to pass a law ending sexual abu
 se at the hands of law enforcement in the state of New York. For one night
 \, on September 18th\, we come together to write letters to our New York r
 epresentatives while enjoying a stacked lineup of entertainment. Feast you
 r eyes and ears as Gentle Mothh performs her debut album Paper Thin\, danc
 ers move across the stage and room in acts ranging from burlesque to drag 
 to pole\, performed by members of the sex worker community and their allie
 s. Illuminate your mind as attorney Rebecca Cleary\, JD\, of A.S.H. Coalit
 ion\, one of the original authors of the bill\, briefs us on the law we ar
 e fighting for. Then let yourself relax and unwind at the midnight ballet\
 , sensual performances by a cast composed entirely of current and former a
 dult industry workers. There will be prizes\, bisexual beverages\, and tre
 ats galore. The theme is “Paper Dolls” and the dress code is high femm
 e and hardware - it’s giving - chomping at the My-Little-Pony-bit - what
 ever that means to you.\n\nThe issue: current policy in New York allows la
 w enforcement to have sexual contact with people under investigation. This
  loophole has led to state funded\, systemic exploitation of workers in th
 e adult industry\, as police carry out undercover sting operations: posing
  as clients\, extracting services\, then arresting the very people they ar
 e sworn to protect and serve. This is not a rare situation caused by a few
  bad actors. After excessive use of force\, police sexual misconduct is th
 e second most reported form of police misconduct across the country. Join 
 us in making New York a safer and sexier place.
