Waterkant should give the profit from the International R.Kelly Day to Reclaimed Voices
Waterkant, one of Amsterdam's most crowded bar will be hosting on March 9th 2018, an International R.Kelly Day. Such event is a tribute to a notorious sexual predator, well-known for assaulting and abusing very young girls.
Waterkant keeps on avoiding feedback and remarks they receive regarding this event, and just keep on blocking people pointing this event as not acceptable in 2018.
Since they do not seem to be willing to cancel the event, it seems logical that Waterkant should give 50% of the revenues of this party to Reclaimed Voices, a Dutch Foundation helping victims of sexual assaults.
Sharing hashtags with #MeToo and #TimesUp is not enough to fight sexual assaults and attacks a lot of women, young girls and young boys are facing.
Make an impact by signing this petition: push Waterkant doing the right thing.

The management at Waterkant continues to ignore the public feedback regarding this event. I am currently preparing formal correspondence to deliver to them so that they cannot claim to be unaware of our position.

The response to this campaign indicates a strong collective refusal to accept the trivialization of sexual abuse. This momentum demonstrates that commercial interests do not override the necessity for moral accountability.

Disgusting that they think this is okay. How tone deaf can you get in 2018?
A foundation helping victims of sexual assault is a great idea. We can however also send 50% of the revenue to R Kelly himself, since he is a victim of sexual assault as well. He has been the victim of sexual abuse since the terrible young age of 8 years old for several years by an older woman close to him. #hetoo #timesup #loveistheanswer #tybg #victim #perpetrator
Let's stop reinforcing predatory behavior
Are they so ignorant?
Done!
Great initiative! Waterkant shouldn't celebrate a known sexual predator.

Absolute joke. Money should go to victims not a creep like him.
