Will there be a blog-in on BNG about this as well? I’m going to post something over on Blog of Pro-Porn Activism about violence against porn workers on December 17th, and I’d be happy to cross-post it here.
I don’t know what BNG is doing but the events will start saturday evening on SWOP East’s blog http://www.swopeast.blogspot.com
