<div>Hoi allemaal,
</div>
<div><em>(English below!)</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Het Prostitutie Informatie Centrum (PIC) is in 1994 opgericht door toenmalig sekswerker Mariska Majoor. Het is <strong>een uniek pareltje op de Amsterdamse Wallen</strong>, gerund door sekswerkers, met het doel om vooroordelen over sekswerk tegen te gaan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Dit jaar vieren wij onze 30ste verjaardag</strong> en we zouden dolgraag open willen blijven om ons werk voort te kunnen zetten. Jouw gift (verjaardagskadootje?) kan ons daarbij helpen!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De eigenaar van ons pand, Stadsherstel,<strong> wil de ruimte verkopen.</strong> Ze hebben geen alternatief beschikbaar en het PIC - een kleine non-profit organisatie gerund door sekswerkers en zonder gemeentesubsidie - heeft niet de inkomsten om het over te kopen of een commerciële ruimte in de buurt te huren.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Het PIC biedt gratis informatie aan bezoekers over de Wallen en sekswerk in Nederland, huisvest een archief over sekswerk en vormt een gemeenschapscentrum voor sekswerkers zelf. De afgelopen 30 jaar heeft dit kleine centrum vele tienduizenden bezoekers te woord gestaan. Dit zijn vaak toeristen, studenten en onderzoekers maar ook buurtgenoten, klanten, sekswerkers zelf, hulpverleners, journalisten, ambtenaren en politici. Ook onderhouden wij ons mooie standbeeld van sekswerker Belle op het Oudekerksplein.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Het PIC krijgt inkomsten uit donaties van bezoekers, verkoop van boeken, T-shirts en andere - grotendeels unieke - merchandise en betaalde lezingen en workshops in het PIC. Hiermee weet het PIC de eigen broek op te houden, maar het is geen vetpot.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>UPDATE!</strong>
</div>
<div>Nadat deze crowdfunding online kwam, zijn we door enkele mensen benaderd die ons mogelijk verder kunnen helpen om - tegen een redelijke prijs - op onze plek te kunnen blijven zitten. We hebben nog niks zwart op wit maar wel goede hoop! Zie ook onze update hieronder met meer informatie. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mochten de inkomsten van deze crowdfunding niet nodig zijn om bij te dragen aan het kunnen overnemen van het pand (waarvoor we natuurlijk veel meer nodig hebben dan we op lijken te gaan halen) zal het alsnog volledig gebruikt worden om het PIC open te houden. Bijvoorbeeld zodat we eindelijk kapotte meubels en keukenspullen kunnen vervangen en de boel binnen wat kunnen opknappen. Ook zouden we graag investeren in merchandise die we kunnen verkopen. Zo kunnen we investeren om het PIC nog voor vele jaren open te houden voor sekswerkers zelf en het diverse publiek dat bij ons binnenloop.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Help jij ons met een verjaardagskadootje?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En als je in Amsterdam bent - kom een keer langs! We zijn open woensdag t/m zaterdag, 12 - 17.00 uur en op afspraak.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dankjewel, namens ons hele team,
</div>

</div>
<div>Hi all,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Prostitution Information Centre (PIC) was founded in 1994 by sex worker Mariska Majoor. It is <strong>a unique gem in the Amsterdam Red Light District</strong>, run by sex workers, with the aim to counter sex work stigma.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year we celebrate our <strong>30th anniversary</strong> and would love to stay open to continue our work. Your donation (birthday present?) could help us do just that!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The owner of our building, Stadsherstel, wants to sell the space. They have no alternative available and the PIC - a small non-profit community organisation without municipal subsidy - does not have the income to buy it or rent a commercial space nearby.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The PIC provides free information to visitors about the Red Light District and sex work in the Netherlands, houses an archive on sex work and is a community centre for sex workers themselves. <strong>Over the past 30 years, this small centre has served many tens of thousands of visitors. </strong>These are often tourists, students and researchers but also locals, clients, sex workers themselves, aid workers, journalists, civil servants and politicians. We also maintain our beautiful statue of sex worker Belle on the Oudekerksplein.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The PIC gets its income from visitors' tips and donations, sales of books, T-shirts and other - largely unique - merchandise and paid lectures and workshops at the PIC. We manage to pay the bills, but not much more than that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>UPDATE!
</div>
<div>After our crowdfunding came online, we were approached by several people who might be able to help us stay in our center. There's nothing set in stone yet, but we are very hopeful this will work out! Check out our update e-mail below for the latest update(s).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the crowdfunding income may not be needed to contribute to the costs of buying the space (for which we are not nearly raising enough money), we will still need and use every cent to keep the PIC open. For example, by being able to replace broken furniture and equipment and renovating some of the space. We would also like to invest in more unique merchandise, which we can sell. As such, we can invest in keeping the PIC open for many more years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Will you help us with a birthday present?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And if you're in Amsterdam - drop by! We are open Wednesday to Saturday, 12 - 5pm and by appointment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you, on behalf of the entire team,
</div>
<div><br />
