Stepping Stone’s Sale for Solidarity

It hasn’t been an easy month for Stepping Stone.

The sex-work advocacy group recently lost its executive director, Rene Ross, and also has been having a hard time with gathering consistent funding. Thankfully, the doors are still open, and so the organization is putting on a fundraiser, called Sale for Solidarity.

Taking place next Monday, June 3, at 1313 Hollis St, the event will include a silent auction, as well as the Halifax launch of Selling Sex: Experience, Advocacy, and Research on Sex Work in Canada, by Emily van der Meulen, Elya M Durisin and Victoria Love.

So if sex work in this town matters to you or the people you know, love or have sex with, check out the Facebook event page.
