#instaSTRIKE Menlo Park

June 19, 2019 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm

Adult performers, exotic dancers, web cam performers, and sex workers are being wrongfully deleted from the social media platform instagram. For two months, we have been organizing those wrongfully deleted to stand up and fight the social media giant. At this time we have nearly 1000 people signed on to our legal fight. We have a team of lawyers looking to create a class action lawsuit against IG because of the blatant discrimination of legal workers across the world.

As the leader of this fight, we have been implmenting different plans of action as we organize. From a five day long social media campaign geared towards the heads of instagram, that included hundreds of people tweeting about our cause, to organizing a protest outside each of the instagram offices in the US on Wednesday June 19, 2019.

We plan to organize a strike  with performers, dancers, cam performers, and sex workers, to meet at the same time and protest together.  We will be renting passenger vans from Los Angeles to Menlo Park, California where instagram is located. We plan to raise funds to cover transportation costs, food , etc. for our protesters. For many of them, this will be a twelve hour journey just in travel time.

Numerous mainstream media outlets have covered our battle thus far, and many more will be sharing the news of our protests. To date, Vice.com, Metro UK, the Guardian, Jezebel,  AVN, Xbiz, and numerous other outlets have posted stories about our fight, with more to come.

To sponsor the protest, or for more information, contact us. The Adult Performers Actors Guild is a non profit organization and all donations are tax deductible. Our  email is members@APAGUnion.com

For performers that are located in Los Angeles, we have transportation to the Menlo Park strike based on need. We ask that if you would like to attend the strike, please fill out the form. We will be providing transportation on a first come first serve basis for verifiable performers, but anyone is welcome to attend the strike in support on the scheduled day if providing your own transport. We look forward to having you all there in solidarity!
