SWOP St Louis

We will be releasing safety planning resources and organizing safety checks for workers. Please DM us or @mohojustice if you are interested in participating in community safety mutual aid.

ATTN STL SEX WORKERS We are monitoring an escalating pattern of robberies, assaults, shootings, and murders targeting sex workers at the following sites: 3800 West Florrisant 4500 Adelaide 4500 and 4200 Cote Brillante MegaPersonals Hamilton x Theodosia 15th x Mullanphy

(1/2) We had originally planned to launch a project today, but in solidarity with Black Lives Matter we are postponing. We want to prioritize and center Black Sex Workers, their platforms, voices, contributions and needs, especially on International Whores Day.

#IWD2020 is dedicated to our Black trans sisters, who tirelessly lead our resistance against state violence while disproportionately bearing its burden. No justice for sex workers without justice for Black lives. #BlackLivesMatter #BLACKTRANSLIVESMATTER

StL Jail & Legal Support is activated. Call or text the jail support hotline at 314-312-0836 if you have information about arrests of protesters & activists in the struggle for Black lives in the St. Louis area

A resource for STL workers

@ChilibombT @miaformore Thank you for your support!

Attn: Missouri and Metro East workers and allies Missouri Senator Josh Halsey and Illinois Senator Dick Durbin are both cosponsors of this dangerous bill. We will be organizing ways workers and allies can contact their representatives and collectively resist this bill.

We will be open 10-4 today. We are allowing one human in at time to go shopping and get needs met. Please wash your hands upon entering. We center trans folks and black trans and queer folks and we won’t turn queers away. We will do the best we can with what we have.

We will update as more supplies come in (or out of availability)

Currently Available: -Assortment of out and in condoms, flavored condoms, magnum condoms, silicone and water lube -menstrual hygiene products -Mucinex(DM), Aleve -protein-rich shelf stables -Narcan and IM naloxone -IM hormone injection supplies(multiple sizes) -sharps containers

We are still working on the community line, but please DM if you are a sex worker or trans person in the St. Louis metro area in need of supplies (see below). We have limited delivery capacity, but aim to arrange supplies drops within 12 hours of all DMs.

Happy International Sex Workers Rights Day! Solidarity w/ our partners in the MO HIV Justice Coalition, testifying today in support of HB 1691 (HIV Policy Modernization), and w/PROMO’s trans health advocates testifying against HBs 1721 & 2051. Trans & HIV+ rights are SW rights!

#Joeytheplayer is charged. ⁦He was arrested on Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s Day to #sexworkers everywhere. justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/new…

Let me be clear if your a S.W. And your in need of guidance true unending love I’m here . We lift each other up we stand by each other and we never let you fall # Swop-Usa

@DateNaomiChoi @TBK365 @Maggie_McNeill @swopbehindbars @davidwraith Seconded. We’d recommend @TBK365 suggestions first, but if those can’t help, try a lawyer on the resource list (services have been verified by local social workers, but not yet vetted by SWers). If resources for another county are needed drop a line!

Hey #stlouis #attorney desperately needed to go report to police with a #sexworker who is being threatened with serious physical violence by a client. Please dm Critical and crisis situation. Her Small child also being threatened with violence.

Today is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. Join us tonight as we honor the SW we've lost and imagine a world without this violence at the MO ACLU offices. We have food, metro vouchers, safer sex and HRT injection supplies!

So, tomorrow is the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. It is a necessary day but can also be a difficult day. If you need to talk, the confidential SWOP community support line is open 24/7 - 877-776-2004
