[GPCA-SGA-Votes] Green Party Sex Tape video

[Argie E. Hill]

All,

I support the video.
Sex work is real work.
Awareness raising is necessary.
If you can’t support this perhaps an organization dedicated to community
based economics and social justice isn’t the place for you.

We are not corporate shills, it’s time to act like it and stop demanding
respectability politics. If you didn’t want to see this video, you should
have donated to the campaign.

The video is satire!
