Date:
04/01/2011 - 8:00pm - 11:00pm This month we will be partnering with Prax(us), a Denver-based nonprofit dedicated to ending human trafficking. Prax(us) focuses on youth in domestic human trafficking situations. A study conducted by the Metro Denver Homeless initiative in 2009 shows that there are 1,135 homeless youth in the Denver Metro Area on any given night. According to National data, 10-30% of homeless youth are exploited in the sex industry, and 1-in-3 teens will be recruited by a pimp within 48 hours of leaving home and becoming homeless.
Open Media Foundation is proud to collaborate with Prax(us) to raise the visibility of their important work in our community. This event will feature burlesque performance and music from Hideous Men, and an after party upstairs with local DJ's.Hideous Men is self-proclaimed 'dance music for weirdos' based in Denver, CO and consists of Ryan McRyhew and Kristi Schaefer.
