      Grosso continues to say that too much funding & time goes to arresting consenting adults & that thwarts efforts to stop exploitation. She responds "I think it will be harmful to people like me... it will make the city untenable for people like me to live in" #DecrimDC

      “I do want to add to the conversation on this”: “we don’t send kids to coal mines anymore” so we can’t decriminalize adult sex work, offers opponent of #dcdecrim from @mencanstoprape

      "This is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, right? I've been brave long enough….The question is now, how are you going to be brave for me?" DC sex worker asks city council members at #DecrimDC hearing (which is still going strong almost 10 hours in!)

      they just called my name to testify at the #decrimdc hearing. I left a few hours ago & have been watching along at home. Was going to go back but...it's getting late & there are a lot of witnesses left whose voices need to be heard more than mine. I've got a platform already

      So amazed that this hearing—started at 10 a.m.—is still going on and impressed & inspired by the power of all these #decrimdc advocates

      "the criminalization of sex work is one of the main sites of police brutality and mass incarceration...this bill is one step to making D.C. safer for everyone...police don't make us safer, community does" #DecrimDC (keep missing names testifying sorry! Wish livestream would show)

      These last few rounds of speakers... finally feels like directly impacted populations & those on their side are having an uninterrupted and productive conversation with DC council members and it's been so beautiful to watch #DecrimNowDC #DecrimDC

      Oh goodness gracious, speaker from Catholic University just invoked the harm principle to say... sex workers asking not to be arrested themselves are infringing in the rights of victims 😒 #decrimnow

          .@cmdgrosso still going strong. Response to witness who suggests we can’t arrest our way out of social problems but “we can’t decriminalize our way out” either. Grosso also reiterates studies show Nordic Midel has not been successful #DecrimDC #decrimnowpic.twitter.com/KaQEzKQUIz

          I'm still trying to parse the logic, but it seems to be at least three or four layers of victim blaming, all under the umbrella point that it's "unfair" for victims.

          They are unreasonable. Make no sense. Vying to take away bodily sovereignty over sex workers. She is vile.
