Yang Song was a 38-year-old sex worker living in Queens, NY. During a targeted police raid on the night of Nov. 25, 2017, she fell to her death from the balcony of her 4th-floor apartment. A year before, an undercover police officer raped her at gunpoint. After reporting the assault, Song was harassed by an NYPD vice squad, pressured to become an undercover informant, threatened with deportation and arrested and humiliated in multiple stings in the months before her death.\n\nYou can support the work of SWOP with a tax deductible contribution here:\nhttps://swopusa.harnessgiving.org/donate/?selected-method=one-time&amount=25&campaign_id=0
