Our mentions are extremely busy (which is great!) but apologies if we do not have time to reply to everybody or miss your tweet! We are going to post some accessible resources about sex worker rights 🌺
Firstly, here is our website, which will tell you about our org! Check out the blog section for info on our most recent work — we are campaigning against police raids on migrant sex workers swarmcollective.org
Here is an amazing TEDx talk given by SWARM member @fornicatrix! This was delivered in a small London venue with no global promotion, but went viral because Juno is such an incredible & clear speaker. Two million viewers so far! ted.com/talks/juno_mac…
Check out the zunes section of our website — we have zines on sex workers as survivors, and on the experiences of trans and queer sex workers swarmcollective.org/zine/
Here are some other sex worker organisations you should follow if you’re interested in this topic: @ProstitutesColl, in London; @ScotPep, based in Scotland; @NationalUglyMug who run a UK-wide sex worker safety scheme; @swopbehindbars who support incarcerated sex workers in the US
Some other organisations who do amazing work (not necessarily sex work-specific but which overlaps w our concerns): @LCAPSV, who work to tackle police & state violence; @UnityCentreGlas who do grassroots work w refugees & migrants; @SistersUncut - who surely need no intro 💚💜
And @NELMAcampaigns who do migrant rights stuff in London (sorry NELMA! I need another coffee) and @Release_drugs who do drug-related harm reduction and are working toward us getting better drug laws 💪
Allllll these organisations are grassroots and run on shoe-string budgets (like us!) so if you have an extra £5 a month you could pass to one of them, it would make a huge difference
And while our tweets are so busy, we just want to re-boost this thread on what to do if you see someone being stopped-and-searched. Intervene if you can! Stop-and-search is police harassment
