We believe that radical possibilities for new platforms exist, especially those that emphasize social bonds that go beyond the transactional relationships under capitalism. Check out some projects by teachers, participants, guests, and organizations who are doing the work:

SB357 repealed!!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 🌹

Join us at Freedom Plaza today! #RightsNotRescue
✨Thursday, 1 - 6 | Freedom Plaza✨ @LSislen will be joining Sex Worker Advocate Coalition & @HIPSDC for an afternoon of dancing, storytelling, talks from guest speakers and strutting down our street-based catwalk. We will be serving bagged lunches, drinks, and plenty of music
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…

This is journey has been wild but it feels appropriate that the inequalities across academia would lead me to reconcile with my past as a sex worker in my current work.
"I wouldn't be a pHD if it wasn't for sex work- sex work led me to become a doctor. I had to become 'less respectable' in order to gain that type of respectability that comes with having Doctor attached to my title." @dozierayanna

“We’re seeing more Black and brown sex workers creating spaces for themselves and putting their energy into creative and theoretical work. Hopefully, later generations will find we are all screaming into the void: ‘We are here!’” -@RebelleCunt

In honor of #AAPIHeritageMonth, RCS is raising $9K monthly recurring donations for our expanding outreach program! As a small grassroots collective, we've relied heavily on one-time grants. Our community of Asian massage & SWers is growing, & we require a bigger support network.
