Outside of the horrific fuck shit Diddy did to people, I think FSSW is so normalized that people forget its not legal in the US.
Some of y’all didn’t watch COPS growing up and it shows.
The fact that people consistently believe prostitution is legal in Las Vegas reminds me how little y’all know about the law.

In order to be safe at work, sex workers need access to the same labour rights and protections as all other workers.
We spoke at @the_TUC fringe about the urgent need for the full decriminalisation of sex work, and why sex workers’ rights are a trade union issue.

Honoured to speak at the @The_TUC fringe this week about why the decriminalisation of sex work is a trade union issue.
As trade unionists know, through organising workers and winning greater rights we can lessen exploitation. The same principle applies to sex work.
ALT Nadia sitting alongside other panellists. Behind them are two roller banners, one for the union ASLEF and another which reads "It's time for the full decriminalisation of sex work in the UK".

Weren't y’all in my mentions asking how to get sex workers & our massive followers to rally their support of @VP despite being the architect of FOSTA SESTA??
Easy, STOP PUNCHING DOWN ON THE 2 MILLION ADULT GIG WORKERS IN THE US. Many of whom are survivors of sexual violence and traffiicking. And that’s NOT including in person sex workers.
We’re not your punchline @JasmineForUS. Why can’t you call him a philanderer, a manipulator, someone who uses money to silence women?
I realize you are repeating other people’s rhetoric, but I expect Black Women to DO BETTER.
@dnc is really alienating 2 MILLION TAX PAYING VOTERS.

Where are the Swerfs? Where are the anti-trafficking folks who claim they want to save survivors? Where are the anti-por crusaders who claim all sex work is rape? Y’all putting money on Chrystal Kizer’s books?
Kizer gets 11 years for killing her abuser. apple.news/AfZPbp2GlQF-2aWc6…

And as we have already learned, this doesn't stop with sexually explicit content. It includes anything that can be seen as "harmful to minors" which can include things websites dedicated to providing sexual health information, sites that have pro lgbtq content, etc.

If the Government is committed to ending new HIV transmissions by 2030, the full decriminalisation of sex work should be an urgent priority.
“Decriminalization is a critical element to end AIDS by 2030.” - @UNAIDS
unaids.org/en/topic/decrimin…
Decriminalization of sex work could avert between 33% and 46% of HIV infections among sex workers and their clients over a ten-year period.

I look around the sex industry and see far more gender/sexual imagination, freedom, ferocity, and authenticity than I do in fashion, Hollywood, or any other mainstream media.

Freezing sex workers' bank accounts is financial discrimination and morally bankrupt. nz.news.yahoo.com/voices-ban…

We are heartbroken about the shootings at yesterday’s Juneteenth celebration at Lake Merritt. Once again, a day that was supposed to be for us ended in tragic gun violence and left multiple injured.
(1/7)
ALT APTP flyer that reads, "If you are experiencing trauma because of yesterday's shootings. Thursday, 9PM-12AM: MH First Hotline is open to offer immediate emotional support, (510)999-9MH1. Friday, 3-7PM: Expanded Services at the People's Clinic, 893 Willow Street, Oakland. Saturday, 12-3PM: Rapid Response Healing Portal, Lake Merrit Pillars. Services will include drop-in herbal foot soaks at the People's Clinic and NADA community acupuncture for post traumatic stress at both. Benefits include relief from stress and emotional trauma, reduced cravings, improved sleep, and less agitation."

When we say, “you have to center the most marginalized person in the room,” that’s what we mean. If Black trans women have rights and safety, then we will all be safe.

Alright, y'all. We're in the middle of a heat wave, and we're doing outreach.
That includes passing out food, water, sunscreen, and other supplies.
If you can donate, we certainly would appreciate it! Let's make sure our folks are hydrated!
