Sex Workers Outreach Project USA
Welcome to the new and improved SWOP-USA website! We’re going through many changes as an organization and a digital overhaul is part of that. You’ll find an entirely new resource section, our Chapter Hub site has moved here, and we’ll also be producing significantly more resource sheets in the coming months.
Sex Workers Outreach Project-USA is a national social justice network dedicated to the fundamental human rights of people involved in the sex trade and their communities, focusing on ending violence and stigma through education and advocacy.
Asking for all my friends 😇

“#Florida report cites non-profits paying executives too much @MiamiHerald “Although state law required 194 of the agencies to submit an annual audit to the state, 154 of them did not. Only 39 had been audited.”https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article248780400.html#storylink=cpy https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article248780400.html
Having a criminal record is not just an artifact of punishment but is, by itself, a form of punishment. Incarceration removes freedom, a criminal record removes opportunities for employment, housing, education, access to food, etc. At what point then does punishment end?
I really hope nobody works with her. Southern has a long history of racism, cozying up to the alt right, transphobia, and has openly stated that rape culture isn’t real.
Working with her will only hurt the #SexWork community. We deserve better.
Really important read from Evan Greer from Fight for the future.
This is an aspect/problem around fact checking that I hadn’t even considered!
“The fact checker is essentially claiming that the post is misinformation because the Senate didn’t “vote to allow” — they just “didn’t vote to not allow.”

Facebook told my followers I was spreading misinformation about government surveillance. I wasn’t.

Calls for censorship, or for Big Tech to become the arbiter of truth, will ultimately backfire. We need to address the problem at its root.Recent Blog Posts:
