SB357 repealed!! The evil California law, 653.22 loitering with the intent to commit prostitution, created years of misery, punishment, misogyny—discrimination against women of color, especially trans women of color. Thanks DecrimSWCA, @ACLU_SoCal and all who supported this.

Today, we honor #InternationalWhoresDay by upholding vibrant sex worker elders and leaders whose wisdom has taught us that without dismantling and abolishing white supremacist carceral systems, decriminalization will never be enough to keep sex workers safe 🌹

Today is #InternationalSexWorkersDay (also known as #InternationalWhoresDay).
The theme of the day is "access to justice", a theme which not only speaks the the historical origins of the day, but a vital and fundamental right that sex workers are still routinely denied.

🖤Still loving this zine!🖤For #InternationalWhoresDay, the #IWDZine is a resource for sex workers' rights with art that conveys the struggle against racist, anti-immigrant, classist, homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic conditions. Download the zine: internationalwhoresday.com/z…

Sending love & power to sex workers around the world on #InternationalWhoresDay ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 2 June marks the day in 1975 when 150+ sex workers occupied the Church of St. Nizier in Lyon, France. A banner was hung over the church façade 'Our children don't want their mothers in prison'

Sex workers' rights are migrant rights. On #InternationalSexWorkersDay, let's take a look at the racial profiling and discrimination attached to criminalisation models, including 'End Demand'. You can find more information in @GlobalSexWork's policy brief: nswp.org/resource/nswp-polic…
ALT The human rights violations of 'End Demand' laws | Migration Legitimising discrimination against migrant women ‘End Demand’ legislation disproportionately affects migrant women sex workers, and also exacerbates and legitimises discrimination against migrant women who are not sex workers.
