According to reps, the event is set to include brunch and coffee vended by Coffee Not Cops and others, speeches from current and former sex workers, an altar to honor those in the community who have since passed, as well as performances by sex worker artists and musicians. 

Tabling by community organizations such as St. James Infirmary; Critical Resistance; Public Health Social Justice Collective; Ella Baker Center for Human Rights; The Harm Reduction Coalition; Anti Police-Terror Project; Berkeley Free Clinic; Public Health Awakens; Prisoner Advocacy Network and more will also be present.
