The whole series is wonderful and we encourage you to view them. As the economic uncertainty increases w/layoffs & triple pandemic, many incorrectly assume s3x work is an easy side hustle. Educate & be aware 💛support & believe s3x workers ♥️

Tomorrow, Dec. 17, is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. SWers lack the resources/support to properly report/file claims due to the criminalization and stigmatization of their jobs. Everyone deserves to feel safe at work. Believing SWers is the first step.

@Jessecooksfood Yes, a great example is reviewing the poc community response during 2020 when the government was lost on how to respond to Covid&PPE. Communities of color tapped their networks locally and internationally to bridge vital PPE to ppl. MPOX &the s*x worker response is another.

Community is an action word y’all 💛👇🏽plus they come in digital and print options.

I don't think a lot of people know this but @Stop_Sweeps_SEA has been serving hot meals to 60+ people every Sunday down on 3rd Ave. We've handed out harm reduction supplies, emergency backpacks, winter gear, Gatorade, etc. If you've got some extra 💰 to throw their way please do!

[Stop The Sweeps Seattle @Stop_Sweeps_SEA]

We talked with @PovertySkola from @poormagazine about the reality of sweeps in Seattle and across the country. Check out the interview and the dope work they’re doing across the country!

For many #Queer & #Transgender people, people who’ve faced loss or are estranged, holiday times can be vicious. Here’s a reminder I’m trying to hold onto:

Chosen family is real family.
Chosen family is real family.
Chosen family is real family.
Chosen family is real family.

Emails obtained by Real Change reveal that the city swept downtown encampments without meaningful offers of shelter earlier this year.
