Tonight we went out to support the striking workers at Encore casino! Casino workers and sex workers both face the stigma of working in a “vice” industry. Sex workers often work at casinos, and we appreciate the hard work of all the staff. Encore, pay your workers a fair wage!

It was an honor to march with y'all we'll see you next time :)

Today, we sent a letter to all our creators announcing a major change in MintStars’ ownership. We’re giving our creators a 20% financial stake in MintStars.

Thank you @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social for inviting us to your Pride event and being open to listen to s-x workers about our needs. We are so honored to receive this resolution recognizing our work! 😭🌈🩷

One of our unhoused members is looking for support - can you help?

Every year, the cheers we hear at Pride get a little bit louder. We dream for a day when none of us has to wear a paper bag over our head to protect our identity, when none of our members fear marching because they could be recognized as a sex worker. Thanks for enabling us to be ourselves.

Massachusetts residents: take 2 mins to tell the House Ways & Means Committee to protect sex workers this Pride! 🌈☂️ We’re asking them to pass 2 bills to create a commission to study decriminalizing sex work and to eliminate the crime of common night walking. bit.ly/sexworkpridema

Support a study commission and safe reporting for sex workers

We’ll be at Dyke March and Pride today and tomorrow - come chat with us at our table! 💕🌈

Happy #TransDayofVisibility! We honor the trans sex workers who have been at the forefront of the battle for trans rights, racial equality, decriminalization, and social justice as a whole. We also ask for support for our community member Frankie, who is recovering from gender affirming surgery.

HEY MASSACHUSETTS!! This is the other call to action from @bostonswac.bsky.social! Details at the link in the OP.

Boston Sex Workers and Allies Collective (BSWAC)@bostonswac.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Thank you so much for sharing!!! Once people have sent that letter, you can also send this one urging lawmakers NOT to pass a bill that would conflate sex work and sex trafficking, and to PASS a bill that would enable sex workers to report a crime without fear of arrest! bit.ly/ProtectMASexWorkers

HEY MASSACHUSETTS!! Do you know about the sex worker led activist group @bostonswac.bsky.social? Now you do! We're pushing for full decriminalization of sex work in MA and they current step is getting a bill pushed through to the MA House for a vote! Support here: actionnetwork.org/letters/supp...

Here are 5 actions you can take to support Massachusetts sex workers for International Sex Workers’ Rights Day! ✨

One of our members is asking for some support - they are an amazing activist who advocates for better policies for homeless people in Boston, please share!

One of our dear members is seeking donations to help her through her ‘sabbatical’ due to FFS. Please consider helping one of our own out: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fr...

Please follow Caty, an amazing sex workers rights organizer with Whose Corner Is It Anyway in Western Mass, here and at her new Facebook account! Facebook deleted her old account due to censorship.

****Back on Facebook, trying to rebuild an account called CatyCaty Simon--please add me, esp. if you are a swer rights movement person---it's only giving me harm redux suggestions for friends.****

Mayor Wu’s administration @mayorwu.boston.gov is trying to ban street outreach at Mass & Cass, targeting the very people who help street based sex workers and drug users stay alive. This is cruel abandonment by policy. We will continue our street outreach despite this.

Today we hold space for grief, rage, love and resistance. Violence against sex workers doesn’t need to be inevitable. That’s why we fight for more. More dignity, more rights, more autonomy. For a safer tomorrow.

One of our members, a neurodivergent trans woman facing multiple barriers in the workplace, is currently unhoused and looking for support to stay in a motel until she can find more stable housing. If you can help, her Cash App is $AvaB1400. She is also looking for jobs to apply to. Thank you! 💖

#savespeech #stopKOSA ATTENTION! The House of Energy and Commerce has pushed a package of(now 18) "child safety" bills to a subcommittee markup. This means the bills will be likely voted on to go to a FULL committee markup, which sends it out to the House. Call the Committee. Tell them to vote NO

Just found this starter pack of Boston sex workers! ❤️
