Human trafficking is NOT the same as human employment. Sex trafficking is NOT the same as sex work. It is THAT SIMPLE. Stop the conflation. @HoCCommittees@CDNSWAlliance
So, @CanadianLabour is convening in #Mtl May 8-12 to "lift everyone up". Here's the #sexwork resolution allies pur up 4 vote - AGAIN. Retweet & tag @CanadianLabour & #CLC2023 2 raise visibility around need 2 once & for all support #sexworkers & our human & labour rights. #decrim
Be gentle with yourself as you come down off of this monumental experience.
If you’re looking for connection and a place to keep the momentum going, don’t forget we have a private place to gather online!
“It's time 2 discuss decriminalizing prostitution & developing sensible regulations to protect #sexworkers, not further discriminate against them,” said @ElizabethMay, Leader @CanadianGreens.

#FEWO@HoCCommittees begin 2tomorrow w/ law enforcement & surveillance witnesses - both failures 2 address exploitation. Enforcemnt efforts have brought added & unwelcomed surveillance & monitoring of #sexworkers and #sexwork spaces, whether exploitation exists/has been reported
Next up: another highly problematic tool of surveillance & repression used under the guise of anti-trafficking is the National Hotline funded 2 & run by @thecanadiancntr. This hotline boasts a whopping $14.5 million 2 operate. Read how it harms #sexworkers...
Starting March 20 yet another « study » on human trafficking begins in parliament. Led by #FEWO, we hope it will avoid typical conflation w/ sex work, polarized debate b/w anti sex work zealorts and #sexworkers...
Excitement and momentum are building as we head toward May! Keep your eyes peeled for the conference schedule, which will be posted in the next few weeks, and the launch of our Discord server, where we can start building connections as we head into this monumental event!
Bcuz police don’t publicize that a murdered person may have been a sex worker due to concerns of media sensationalism - stats can’t be kept and now it “appears” we are safer than pre-Pcepa. In #yeg 3 sex workers were murdered in 2020. How are we safer? @CDNSWAlliance@r_garrison
