FSC To Host Members-Only Briefing on Congressional Lobbying Work

LOS ANGELES — Free Speech Coalition (FSC) will host a private, members-only briefing next Friday on the group’s May meetings with House and Senate offices in Washington.

“Since December, FSC has met with nearly two dozen legislative offices on the issue of financial discrimination, nearly all of whom were supportive of legislative and regulatory efforts to help end financial discrimination and provide more stable banking for business and workers in the adult industry,” a rep explained.

FSC Executive Director Alison Boden said, “We believe there is a viable path to ending the banking instability and discriminatory treatment experienced by our industry. Given the sensitive nature of the discussions, we’ve limited what we’ve disclosed publicly. This briefing will allow us to be more explicit about what we’re working on, and what FSC members can expect in the months to come.”

Boden will host the June 9 briefing, which will also feature Director of Public Affairs Mike Stabile and FSC banking lobbyist Pierre Whatley. The bulk of the conversation will be devoted to questions from members.
