Had the honor of speaking with @GLPsea earlier. They've provided over $2,000 directly to street based sex workers in the past few weeks, all out of pocket. Many members are under quarantine and need more support in mobilizing funds for marginalized sex workers. https://twitter.com/GLPsea/status/1237910791740747776
it's actually less draconian to just tell everyone to stay home than to track everyone via their cell phone location data. DO NOT DO THIS. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/u-s-wants-smartphone-location-data-fight-coronavirus-privacy-advocates-n1162821?fbclid=IwAR3TIEHAANW1qbT31AwwjTaW7TjlSvK9PzUAQ4M_yD7mQjHmtx9AHwHkOLg
Black trans women and sex workers are not strangers to having to fundraise rapidly and daily for their needs. We cannot afford to forget them as we're working to maintain our own needs.
Here's a thread on some of our community members who could use your support in this time:

How COVID-19 Is Driving Sex Workers Like Me Into Crisis
www.huffpost.com
The pandemic and the panic that surrounds it are a real and present danger for sex workers.There are so many amazing and worthy crowdfunding campaigns for direct relief to sex workers right now, but one we want to uplift in this moment is from a coalition of sex workers in Seattle (the state that is currently the hardest hit by COVID-19) including POC SWOP and Green Light Project. They have distributed over $2,000 out of pocket to street based sex workers and many of their organizational members are under quarantine. Please contribute if you can!
