Last Call! Join Team Wicked & Say #NoProp60 at AIDS Walk LA

LOS ANGELES—If you missed the big No on Prop. 60 protest on Tuesday, don't fret. Wicked contract star Jessica Drake is sending out one last reminder to members of the media and adult industry, inviting them to join her and Team Wicked this Sunday at the AIDS Walk Los Angeles. While raising funds for AIDS charities, the members of Team Wicked will voice opposition to Proposition 60. To join Team Wicked at AIDS Walk Los Angeles, interested parties can email press@wickedpictures.com or sign up here. The fund-raising event will begin Sunday, October 23 at 10 a.m. at Grand Park in downtown L.A. (200 N. Grand Ave. Los Angeles 90012). The AVN Award-winning performer and sexual wellness advocate is appealing to industry members and all those willing to help support Team Wicked as its members walk to support AIDS funding and oppose Proposition 60. The proposed legislation is the controversial “Condoms in Pornographic Films Initiative,” which will be on the November 8 ballot in California. If passed, it could have devastating ramifications by allowing any California resident to sue adult performers and producers—and potentially collect damages—if condoms are not visible in every frame of a scene. Current polling indicates support in favor of Prop. 60 to be around 55 percent. The California Democratic, Republican and Libertarian parties agree that the proposed measure has the potential to create an avalanche of lawsuits that could cost the state millions and have come out against the proposition. In a written statement, the Libertarian Party of California has expressed solidarity with the Adult Film Advocacy Committee and many civil-rights and public-health organizations, charging that “the measure is designed not to protect performers, but to enable a bonanza of lawsuits against the adult-film industry.” “We are receiving great industry support so we are making one final plea to everyone to donate and join Team Wicked in this great charitable cause and the grass-roots movement to stop Prop. 60,” Drake said. “It’s about helping all those who have been impacted by AIDS and all those at risk, and about supporting efforts to defeat Prop. 60, a blatant power grab meant to cripple our industry and hurt those whose livelihoods depend upon it! So, join us with our ‘No on Prop. 60’ T-shirts, banners and signs and help support AIDS Walk L.A. and the effort to stop bad legislation." Team Wicked has raised nearly $70,000 over the last four years of the event to benefit AIDS charities, making it one of the top fundraising teams for AIDS Walk Los Angeles during that time. With the goal of raising $25,000, Team Wicked so far has raised over $16,500, making it the seventh among all teams participating. Moreover, drake herself has exceeded her personal goal as team leader and has raised more than $7,700.  Team Wicked includes Asa Akira, Katrina Jade, Vanessa Veracruz, Brandy Aniston, Ryan Driller, Brad Armstrong, Alexa Fawx, Venus Lux, Alison Rey and others, many of whom have already met or exceeded their fundraising goals.Those interested in donating may visit Team Wicked’s AIDS Walk L.A. web page here. Besides her ongoing work with Team Wicked and other charitable activities, Drake is a sexual wellness speaker and educator who lectures at universities and leads seminars and workshops around the world.
