U.S. sex work & trafficking policies have been driven by emotion not evidence. We call for fact-based policy-making & scientific data to drive sex work policy.

#AcceptanceMatters because: a) People in consensual sex work shouldn't face undue barriers. b) They do face these barriers. c) These barriers are actually set up in a way to protect companies, not people. d) They should protect people instead. @Mastercard, maybe take a look...

The denial of financial services to sex workers comes from multiple sources - the platforms themselves, but also campaign groups and the state. They are all responsible for the harms to sex workers as a result. #AcceptanceMatters Sign the petition here: acceptancematters.org/

Hey anti-trafficking folks! You need to read this article by @drjonessoc - great example of the far reaching impacts of reactionary policy. If our goal is to help survivors of trafficking and prevent exploitation, we need to push back when these campaigns pop up.
“Sex workers are resilient people who are used to surviving when the government, anti-sex work and anti-porn activists, and other entities like credit card companies threaten their safety, economic livelihoods, and lives.” @drjonessoc peepshowmagazine.com/2021/05…
