Hello here's your daily reminder that focusing on Wayfair ignores how actual trafficking occurs.

If you care more about a conspiracy theory with no substantiated evidence and were silent on trafficking before Epstein, you're not qualified to really have an option on this.
You don't actually care about trafficking, you care about leaping to stories of niche cases that blame corporations and the elite {who should be held accountable, btw}.

Why?

Because this distances you from being complicit in the realities of trafficking. It distances you.
Being silent on measures like SESTA/FOSTA that conflate sex work with trafficking damages trafficking victims and sex workers alike.

Voting for candidates who are bad for people in demographics most at risk for trafficking is another way in which individuals are complicit.
It's easier to shift the blame than to acknowledge that your complacency allows trafficking.

If you care about trafficking, genuinely, then LEARN. Stop sharing memes about Wayfair. Understand most of Epstein's victims *were never reported missing* because they weren't missing.
Black victims are more frequently criminalized and seen as consenting participants in their own trafficking.

Gonna @ some orgs but PLEASE add. Many deal w/ sex work, which is NOT the same as sex trafficking. Making sex work safer combats trafficking & many of these orgs...
...are sex worker focused but also offer resources for sex trafficking victims {also! learn about labor trafficking too!!}. And again, please add to the list!

{one person's suspicion plus a whole lot of confirmation bias that ignores facts like

~many of the linked "missing" children cases are closed and

~excluded from the viral posts are similarly priced items w/ unrelated names on Wayfair & other sites

etc...is not credible}
If you're here to argue, don't.

If you really care so much, go learn about actual trafficking. Find credible resources, learn how /you/ can stop enabling sex trafficking.

Hint: sharing QAnon's conspiracy of the week *isn't* helping. It ultimately harms survivors.
