redupnyc: For the past several years a coalition of people in the sex trades, allies, and community-based organizations has been working to stop police and prosecutors from using possession of condoms as evidence of prostitution and loitering for the purpose of prostitution. In this workshop, specific info about the “No Condoms as Evidence” issue will be offered as well as tactics and skills for doing advocacy: in particular, how to have effective meetings with legislators. Join Emma Caterine (Program Officer) and Audacia Ray (Founder/Director) for the scoop on NY-specific legislative process, media outreach, and grassroots lobbying. This is a FREE training. RSVP on Facebook.  (and we’ve got four more trainings coming up over the next month if you can’t make it to this one)

10 Tips on How To Be A (Feminist) Ally to Sex Workers

australian-diaspora:

This is something that was inspired by the diatribe of bullshit I have dealt with from non sex worker feminists as of late. To be honest, I have all but given up on feminism. Feminism doesn’t want me or people like me, people who refuse to allow them to appropriate our realities in support of their own ideology. Although I am very close to discarding this identity label altogether, I am hoping that at some point feminists are going to get their shit together about sex work and stop deliberately pushing us out when we won’t play by their rules. That is why I wrote this little ten point list. This is by no means comprehensive but hopefully it is a starting point for a true pro sex worker feminism, with space for us in it.
