#PCEPA "has the effect of exposing sex workers to an increased risk of exploitation...The provisions also increase the risk of violence by preventing or restricting the way in which many effective safety measures can be implemented by sex workers." – Justice Thomas McKay #sexwork

[Kerry Porth @KerryPorth]

Three components of PCEPA, advertising, procuring, and material benefit have been ruled unconstitutional in Ontario! #sexwork https://t.co/8ULssj7iet

Despite SESTA/FOSTA, which threatens online communication between sex workers, sex workers’ rights activists have continued to organize—not just against the legislation, but for nothing less than liberation. https://t.co/BQAtQhdYbE #sexwork #sexworkiswork

'If the sisterhood can support my decision to swallow contraceptive pills or terminate an unwanted pregnancy, then there is a duty for them to support my choice to have as much or as little sex as I like and, if I so choose, put a price tag on that sex.' https://t.co/9No03lwAgt

"Visibility is really important. Not all sex workers are cis. Not all sex workers are women. Not all sex workers are conventionally attractive or skinny. Make sure to give visibility to anybody who is doing #sexwork & not focus on one demographic..." https://t.co/Ub0fAiO6yr

The inimitable @GlennKesslerWP fact-checks another MYTH put forward by anti-sexworkers-rights activists:
that new SESTA/FOSTA laws have eliminated sexwork ads. https://t.co/IGdhOxUBEO

"Criminalization fractures sex workers from each other and from appropriate health services." – @AmberDawnWrites in @RoomMagazine

[PACE Society @PaceSociety]

We believe you. “I believe you” has a beginning & an end. Too often sex workers are not believed by the very services & orgs that claim to uphold the phrase. Great read by @AmberDawnWrites @RoomMagazine https://t.co/ZNonVSjkLt #sexwork

“As a transgender woman, I am familiar with discrimination & disdain. During my time as a sex worker, those feelings intensified due to #sexwork stigma. There's a direct connection between the struggles for trans rights & sex worker rights". https://t.co/7emSgJr2Fc @tinahornsass

Unifor members in the media sector have raised the alarm about the toxic and threatening culture that women face online. We’ve seen this in its worst form this week. Online or in person our union says no to hate. This Twitter culture must change. #canlab #cdnmedia

If you’re shocked Stormy Daniels is clever, you need to look at how you view sex workers. https://t.co/3cZUwqf1az #sexwork

If I thought #sexwork decriminalization was good for sex workers and bad for everybody else, I wouldn't advocate for it. Sex work decrim is good for 1) trafficking victims, who are more likely to be found and identified, as well as less likely to be stigmatized and incarcerated

[Hon. Elizabeth Edwards @RepEEdwards]

2) Police officers, who are less likely to be tempted to abuse their power over other people, and can focus more on their original mission: work that actually protects others

[Hon. Elizabeth Edwards @RepEEdwards]

3) People with disabilities, who benefit from increased access to companionship and erotic labor
