LOS ANGELES—Adult film stars will be handing out leaflets and talking to shoppers at farmer’s markets across Los Angeles this weekend, in an effort to educate voters about the dangers of Proposition 60, the controversial adult film initiative.
Proposition 60, which would allow any resident of California to sue an adult performer who appears in a film without a visible condom, is the only ballot measure opposed by both the California Democratic Party and the California Republican Party. It has been opposed by over 50 local and issue-based political clubs; over forty five newspaper editorial boards (including each of the state’s ten largest papers); over 100 HIV/AIDS organizations, doctors and civil rights advocates; and the performers’ groups APAC and APAG. Over the past several months, nearly 2,000 performers have actively campaigned against Proposition 60 by speaking out at university campuses, farmers markets and on social media, as well as leading political rallies and protests.
Adult performers including Kendra Lynn, Veruca James, Siouxsie Q, Chanel Preston, Dee Severe and others will be staffing tables and engaging voters at the following markets:
