Upcoming PISSR Community Meeting
Ever Made History in the Bathroom?
Here’s your chance! People In Search of Safe Restrooms (PISSR) is holding a community meeting to help develop goals for a new Safe Bathroom Access Campaign which aims to create legislation to ensure safe bathroom access for transgender folks and others who face difficulty, harassment or violence when using gender segregated restrooms.
An important first step in kicking off this campaign is to bring together community members to share with us the critical issues that will shape the approach we take to ensuring safe restroom access for all. Your participation would be very valuable to the conversation.
This is a very exciting project because it is the first campaign in the country to address gender-neutral bathroom access on a legislative level. Come help us make history!
Thursday, May 13
7:00pm
SF LGBT Center (at Market & Octavia).
Room 300

once while at the local Bart station I ducked in to use the men's room, as I sat there doing natures work I suddenly noticed that there was no toilet paper!
ho-what am I to do! none any where. I called for help but no one came, I pleaded and begged but on one
came to help. so I had to call 911 for help. and help did come! the Police came, the fire department came,
the paramedics came,the Bart security came, and the local news crew came as well. after an extended explanation and a TV interview I was given some old news paper (at this point it worked just fine) and I was escorted past a crowd of on lookers into a waiting police car and taken home.
I am the only 911 rescue from a toilet in the history of San Francisco |
