#RIP
Beloved transgender actress, author & activist Cecilia Gentili has passed away. Gentili was a towering presence in New York City, an asylum seeker who spent her life fighting for the rights of undocumented immigrants, sex workers, and LGBTQ+ people.

¡Cecilia Gentili presente! ❤️‍🔥💔

We are so blessed to have organized alongside, learned from your fierce love and teaching, and shared space with you. @CeciliaGentili, we will continue to fight in your name and memory. We love you, mil gracias for everything.

We wrote a book! This book highlights the voices of sx workers in RI as we explore what care looks like in our community— we can’t wait to share it with you all! So, come through next Saturday! say hi, & get yourself a copy! COVID is surging so we ask for folks to wear masks ❤️

It’s okay to hate your job regardless of the type of labor. It’s okay to hate your job if it’s sex work. It’s okay to hate doing sex work even when you’re being told you should feel “empowered.” You can hate selling sex and still be completely deserving of rights and protections.

Song Yang, friend, sister, neighbor, fellow worker. ❤️🕯️🤍We remember, we mourn, we honor, and we continue to fight for a world where ALL sex workers and massage workers are safe, respected and able to thrive.

Mutual aid is the radical practice of community care through direct sharing and recognizing that giver and receiver are equally integral parts of the social fabric.

We appreciate what you bring to our community ❤️

Today’s news about the Long Island serial killer is hard to process especially for those actively working. I’m grateful that sw community exists, and days for honoring those we’ve lost exist, like Dec 17th International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. RIP to the victims.

[Support Ho(s)e @supporthosechi]

Our hearts are sick. It’s is as unsurprising as it is devastating that Heuermann was under investigation/surveillance by the police while serial murdering women and femmes. The police themselves are rapists and murderers of sex workers. There is no justice, safety in policing.

[Mistress Matisse @mistressmatisse]

If you’re a sexworker, think VERY carefully about joining Threads, because here’s what Mark Zuckerberg did to me: I had a FB account as Mistress Matisse, but FB scraped my legal name from somewhere else and then changed my displayed NAME on my account without notice/consent. Yep.

NEW: A low-profile policy to help with RI's mental health crisis takes effect this weekend

RI will officially join @PSYPACT, letting residents access telehealth from out-of-state psychologists

@AlanaDimario says the option can be an "absolute lifesaver" https://t.co/Udyeap9YCZ

[Sindicato OTRAS @OtrasSindicato]

Hoy, dos de junio, conmemoramos el Día Internacional de la Trabajadora Sexual.

Por qué el 2 de Junio? 👇🏻

[Vixen @vixenworkers]

Today is International Whore's Day! IWD is an event that started on June 2nd in 1975, when over 100 sex workers began an 8-day occupation at the Saint-Nizier Church in Lyon.

[The Dialtone Project @DialtoneProject]

Sending solidarity and love to s*x workers across the globe today on International Wh0re’s Day ✊

The fight for s*x workers rights is truly a global struggle. Today we call for full decriminalisation, an end to police violence, access to healthcare and dignity for our community!

[Bay Area Workers Support @BAWSupport]

Our mutual aid program began in the wake of FOSTA/SESTA passing in 2018.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 alone we have given out over 700 grants!

After a much needed break,
GRANTS ARE BACK BABY!
