"Dear Friends and Supporters,

As many of you know, Monica Jones was targeted in last year's anti-prostitution raids as part of the prostitution diversion initiative, Project ROSE- a collaboration between the ASU School of Social Work and local law enforcement. SWOP Phoenix and Monica's support team are gearing up for Monica's trial, and trying to get her story out wide and far. Please go to the webpage linked below and read the letter detailing Project ROSE and Monica's story. This letter also details our demands for an end to racist and transphobic policing, an end to Project ROSE, and justice for Monica Jones.

We ask that you please sign the pledge to support Monica, and help us circulate her story widely. http://www.swopphoenix.org/monica/"
