“I’m done talking about bathrooms. Women are dying.” — @natinthehattt

But sameee.

[National Harm Reduction Coalition @HarmReduction]

Today our LGBTQ Coordinator, @natinthehattt, is standing up and testifying in front of Committee on Women and Gender Equity
@NYCCouncil
hearing on resources and support for #TGNCNB people in favor of ending the bias based policing and targeting of NYers for #WalkingWhileTrans

An overview of what we've put up on https://t.co/NQLT26DeX5 in the last week, including info on the impact the bill has had. #LetUsSurvive #SurvivorsAgainstSESTA https://t.co/cy4xWLu6sC

“Trans women are often assumed to be sex workers, yet police officers don’t see them as victims worthy of protection; the stigma surrounding sex work is compounded by the stigma surrounding their gender identity. “ #ProtectTransWomen #Unconstitutional https://t.co/ov1Zvxob02

If we want to have a conversation about how websites actively exploit people and increase vulnerability, can we talk about the regular practice of publishing mugshots, names and addresses after a prostitution sting? #letussurvive

Also want to lift up the incredible work of Baltimore org Power Inside, which has been working with folks trading sex for years. Love & admiration to amazing advocate Jacqui Robarge, who also sits on the @swopusa board. https://t.co/mjQFKuPceS

Around the world, no one has ever died from an overdose in a safer consumption site. Time for us to open sites in New York State and pass my bill authorizing them. @DPA_NY @Kassandra_Fred @VOCALNewYork @nytimes https://t.co/Ji1b0lrUbZ

I was a #sexworker organizer for years in NYC. #FOSTA would undermine almost every single thing I would tell people for how to stay alive. ALL screening, ALL peer references, ALL bad date lists I could send. #SurvivorsAgainstFOSTA

[SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars]

URGENT! TODAY at 5pm the Rules Committee in the House is marking up a bill, "FOSTA" (H. 1865) which would make it a federal crime for facilitating sexual exchange online punishable by up to 10 years. #SurvivorsAgainstFOSTA

[SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars]

Support survivors? sex workers? Online free speech? Harm reduction models of community best practices? SAY NO to #FOSTA. It will NOT protect trafficking survivors. It WILL further criminalize them and sex working people! #SurvivorsAgainstFOSTA

[SWOP Behind Bars @swopbehindbars]

Safety is NOT surveillance. Safety is NOT more policing. Safety is NOT ignoring survivors! #SurvivorsAgainstFOSTA

[Kate @KateDAdamo]

Recommendations in the @Polaris_Project release on massage parlors include increased raids & regulation. This is the result. (Keep in mind: Polaris has a $10m budget & provides zero services - but they do refer hotline callers to all-volunteer-run @swopbehindbars)

[SWOP-USA @swopusa]

@swopusa Communications Director @BriqHouse and @MsMaggieMayhem of @HarmReduxSF are currently at the #TakeRoot18 @Take_RootRJ conference representing for Sex Workers! If you are in Oklahoma/ at the conference make sure to check out their panel- SWs and the Reproductive Movement

[Desiree Alliance @DesireeAlliance]

The sad thing is that these conversations always center around violence. Can't we decriminalize just because it's a form of labor that should be recognized? https://t.co/dNcxWq2I9T

Billy Baldwin gets Twitter of the day for his response to Donnie Jr!!! #Priceless #AssHurtBurn @BillyBaldwin

[Stella, Montréal @AmiEsdeStella]

Police are not even trying to make sense. How exactly is arresting our good clients supposed to help #sexworkers? @RCMPAlberta Explain why taking away our income protects us, please. #cdnpoli @Puglaas, any update on getting police out of our lives? https://t.co/WzPNxc6E29
