On Thursday, October 9th, 7pm-9pm the Foundation is hosting two of the hardest working sexuality activists from the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) at a fundraising dinner and panel discussion at The BalMar*** in Ballard. Advance registration for dinner is needed by end of day, Friday October 3rd. Drinks and gratuity not included in the $30 ticket price.
The panelists, Judy Guerin and Richard Cunningham, will be talking about the legal issues facing the sex positive community today, and the status and progress of the Consent Counts program of the NCSF. We really want you to be a part of Consent Counts and be able to raise awareness of how it is doing and the potential for all of us when it succeeds.
The Panelists:
