California Senate Bill 357 promoted by Sen. Scott Weiner and signed by Gov. Newsom takes effect January 1, 2023. Million Kids believes this bill will single handedly change our communities and the safety of our families. SB 357 rewrites the penal code defining loitering for street prostitution and makes it so law enforcement will not be able to intervene when an individual is loitering for the purposes of soliciting for street prostitution. There are no limits on this bill.

Shortly you will see a major increase in the number of prostitutes loitering in your community. It is already happening in major cities like Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, San Francisco and Fresno. Here are the predictions of how this will affect you and your community.

1.) Homeless people will be tempted to earn cash for sexual activity.

2.) Undocumented individuals who owe money to coyotes will be coerced into prostitution to earn funds to pay off their debts.

3.) Gangs and pimps are already bringing you girls and guys to California to make money through prostitution.

4.) Foreign National cartels will bring in large numbers of individuals from S.E Asia, China, and Latin and South America to make money and launder the money back to their homeland.

5.) Prostitution solicitation will take place in front of homes, businesses, church, schools. It will change the complexion of our communities.

6.) Our kids will see this solicitation and be tempted to make what appears to be easy money and will lured or coerced into prostitution.

Be sure to listen to learn about the Impact of this bill on the future of our communities. More important we will talk about what individuals can do to support law enforcement in finding victims of trafficking that are being sexually violated or physically abused.
