STOPPING SEXUAL SAFETY & EDUCATION (a type of sex work) is being banned from America-and the deletion of our organizational Instagram account proves that we are surely regressing as a country-that influences the world! https://t.co/tAHxMCDaNR

“The reality is that people who engage in sex work in the streets are customers of street vendors, and street vendors are customers of sex workers. So we’re all a whole economy supporting each other.” https://t.co/9Pkkj39KAv

SESTA/FOSTA has caused our instagram account to be suspended. This situation is preventing us from providing services for BIPOC, Queer, TGNC s3x workers who are seeking asylum and/or have survived being human trafficked. This creates increased violation!!

It's International Whores Day (Dia de las Putas) and we LOVE whores, of all kinds! We are proud of the work we do to liberate all people and especially those who have been the most repressed, BIPOC, TGNC, LGBQ2Sp+, sex workers.

We all DESERVE pleasure, privacy, and safety!

Three states have now passed "porn passport" laws. In most cases, these bills — which restrict adult's access to legal content —are passing out of committee with barely a hearing. If government can restrict adults' access to porn, they can restrict it to any speech.

Today we are in Albany calling on @GovKathyHochul & @AndreaSCousins to #DecrimSexWork and #passSVSTAnow. Comprehensive decrim is the best way to reduce coercion & violence in the sex trade and enable workers to use harm reduction & safety tools.

There needs to be swift and immediate action to protect the safety of sex workers both online and in person.

This kind of discriminatory action jeopardizes the well-being of people who are simply trying to travel and make a living.

We've seen an increase in individuals being stopped & interrogated at borders due to their online presence.
