Seattle Leaders Approve SOAP and SODA Ordinances to Combat Prostitution and Drug Use
Sep 11, 2024, 02:47 PM
Seattle city leaders are poised for a major vote on Tuesday regarding the implementation of Stay Out of Area of Prostitution (SOAP) and Stay Out of Drug Areas (SODA) ordinances. These measures aim to combat prostitution and open-air drug use along Aurora Avenue, a hotspot for violence and sexual exploitation. The proposed laws have sparked significant debate, with opponents arguing that they will not be effective and could harm vulnerable populations. A trans activist and prostitute testified that the law would 'kill' people. Despite the controversy, the committee has voted to approve the ban after a tense meeting.
