By Christy Pérez, C. Dreams Verified| Filter@ After two or three phone interviews with Walmart, they hired me for a clerical position at a distribution center. It would have paid about $19 an hour. I got an offer letter, and the company’s career center showed I’d been scheduled for orientation a couple of weeks later. But before that date came, I got a notification that they’d be moving forward with other candidates. I’d “failed” the background check.
By Christy Pérez, C. Dreams Verified| Filter@ Georgia is weighing legislation that would make it more difficult for people on the state’s sex offender registry (SOR) to get off it, as well as to relocate—whether attempting to move in from out of state or move from one part of the state to another. Personally I’m more interested in getting out of Georgia, but that’s beyond the scope of HB 430. The bill pertains to registrants trying to move to a new county, potentially as they’re getting off the SOR.
By Christy Pérez, C. Dreams Verified| Filter@ Several states are currently considering proposals that would make them the first to fully decriminalize sex work. But alongside this is an even bigger push to heighten criminalization of human trafficking—a charge which has a very different connotation with the public, but is often used to prosecute the same people for the same activities. On March 14, Rhode Island became the latest state to introduce a sex work decrim bill.
