The purpose of Proposition K when first looked upon seems like an attempt to decriminalize prostitution (take away the criminal penalties for prostitution), but deeper study of it reveals the unsettling truth.

If passed, Prop K will:

* Make it illegal for local law enforcement to gather funds for investigating and prosecuting crimes of trafficking and slavery, thereby making it nearly impossible for them to investigate.

* Take away funds for programs that help victims, women and children, who have been rescued or who have survived from being prostituted or trafficked.

Logistically speaking, if passed, this measure would direct the  San Francisco Police Department and the District Attorney’s office to refuse to enforce California’s prostitution laws. These sections include the laws used to investigate and prosecute traffickers and those involved in exploiting children. If these laws are NOT enforced, it basically gives a hall pass to pimps, traffickers and johns (customers).

According to San Francisco’s DA Kamala Harris, Prop K, “would expressly bar the investigation and prosecution of human  trafficking crimes. Human trafficking is a serious problem in San Francisco. Many people in the commercial sex trade have been trafficked and forced to participate in commercial sex. This
measure would attempt to provide safe harbor to their traffickers.”

Please agree with us in praying for this proposition to not get passed! More info can be found at http://www.noonk.net/ .
