Had a lovely, inspiring, moving (and sweaty!) time at the @SexWorkersPopUp event tonight!
2/ At the entrance of the event, attendees are greeted by an introduction to @SexWorkersPopUp and relevant terminology and concepts. This is necessary public education! #DecrimNY
I love this flowchart that encourages the audience to reflect upon their own whorephobia- if you don’t suffer from it yourself, maybe you should try talking to someone who does and clear it up for them? @SexWorkersPopUp #DecrimNY
4/ This illustration highlights how Sex Work Exclusionary Radical Feminists (SWERFs), are more wedded to their ideology and outrage than the experiences and needs of sex workers themselves.
5/ This illustration reminds us that sex work is work bc people have to pay their bills. When you arrest someone who is working, you don’t actually improve their lives materially or address the need for $$$. You punish and create barriers to other work too #DecrimNY
6/ Here are a series of banners highlighting the sex work policies in 3 other countries. Apologies for the photo quality.
Sweaty, silly, and happy selfies with two gorgeous activists @theleilaraven and @tamikahs66! #DecrimNY #DecrimDC #DecrimNow
