The Free Speech Coalition has announced a members-only event to discuss their recent meetings with the House and Senate offices in Washington DC in May. FSC Executive Director Alison Boden will host the briefing featuring Director of Public Affairs Mike Stabile and FSC banking lobbyist Pierre Whatley.
The private event is happening on June 9 and all members can register HERE to attend. The bulk of the conversation will be devoted to questions from members.
Since December, FSC has met with nearly two dozen legislative offices on the issue of financial discrimination, nearly all of whom were supportive of legislative and regulatory efforts to help end financial discrimination and provide more stable banking for business and workers in the adult industry.
“We believe there is a viable path to ending the banking instability and discriminatory treatment experienced by our industry,” says Alison Boden, Executive Director of Free Speech Coalition. “Given the sensitive nature of the discussions, we’ve limited what we’ve disclosed publicly. This briefing will allow us to be more explicit about what we’re working on, and what FSC members can expect in the months to come.”
In addition to building relationships with Congress to make sure our voices are heard and defending our rights all the way to the supreme court, the FSC also helps members find legal adult-friendly representation, accounting and professional services, and they invest in PASS – the program that standardizes and monitors STI and infectious disease testing for the industry. Most recently the FSC filed a motion for preliminary injunction of the Utah age-verification law asking the district of Utah judge to block enforcement of the law pending resolution of the case.
