I'm sorry to say that one of our OGs has passed. Emi Koyama was a force to be reckoned with & her work in trafficking and sex work is legendary. She will be sorely missed

Desiree Alliance does not help/assist/get you into the business of sex work. I, or Desiree Alliance are not pimps, panderers, or traffickers We are a rights-based organization that politically advocates for sex workers rights

My statement on today’s authorization for SEPTA to spend capital funds on daily operations. While service will be restored for now, this move delivers zero new funding and is not a long-term solution.

My book is out now. Available anywhere. The audiobook too (which I read). It's part memoir, part manifesto and aims right at the heart of the current Trump / Poilievre right wing backlash against harm reduction. https://t.co/hObgzkoGfo

@DesireeAlliance It’s a marketing opportunity? Extremely honey glazed rotisserie.

#Crackdown by @garthmullins is a great account/story/reality of the Canadian drug supply, resistance, and harm reduction.
