Sobriety Without Stigma for Sex Workers

Human trafficking is NOT the same as human employment. Sex trafficking is NOT the same as sex work. It is THAT SIMPLE. Stop the conflation. @HoCCommittees @CDNSWAlliance

Thanks to @jimmycarr’s show tonight, his fans now know that there's a sex work organization in Edmonton. His first question: "Are you unionized"? I guess he thinks the benefits would be pretty .. stimulating 🤣 💥#SmashingStigmaWithLaughs #sexworkpositive #comedyunites #jimmycarr

Be gentle with yourself as you come down off of this monumental experience. If you’re looking for connection and a place to keep the momentum going, don’t forget we have a private place to gather online!

A statement from @RichmondHillGPC @greenparty about expungements of criminal records & exclusion of #sexworkers greenparty.ca/en/statement/2… @liberal_party @marcomendicino @JusticeCanadaEN

@CDNSWAlliance @ElizabethMay @CanadianGreens @RichmondHillGPC @DavidLametti @marcomendicino @liberal_party Terri Jean Bedford deserves to have her record expunged! @CDNSWAlliance it’s time for correct and fair expungement practices and while you are at it decriminalize sex work! @JustinTrudeau

“This government would miss a crucial opportunity to redress past and current wrongs by not including sex workers in these amendments.” @ElizabethMay @CanadianGreens @RichmondHillGPC greenparty.ca/en/statement/2… @DavidLametti @marcomendicino @liberal_party #cdnpoli

“It's time 2 discuss decriminalizing prostitution & developing sensible regulations to protect #sexworkers, not further discriminate against them,” said @ElizabethMay, Leader @CanadianGreens. greenparty.ca/en/statement/2… @RichmondHillGPC

@swag_kingston Do you have an email address to send to us 😎 please DM us. Thank you 🙏🏻 info@answersociety.org Edmonton’s first s.worker-led sw organization

#FEWO @HoCCommittees begin 2tomorrow w/ law enforcement & surveillance witnesses - both failures 2 address exploitation. Enforcemnt efforts have brought added & unwelcomed surveillance & monitoring of #sexworkers and #sexwork spaces, whether exploitation exists/has been reported

Next up: another highly problematic tool of surveillance & repression used under the guise of anti-trafficking is the National Hotline funded 2 & run by @thecanadiancntr. This hotline boasts a whopping $14.5 million 2 operate. Read how it harms #sexworkers...

Starting March 20 yet another « study » on human trafficking begins in parliament. Led by #FEWO, we hope it will avoid typical conflation w/ sex work, polarized debate b/w anti sex work zealorts and #sexworkers...

Excitement and momentum are building as we head toward May! Keep your eyes peeled for the conference schedule, which will be posted in the next few weeks, and the launch of our Discord server, where we can start building connections as we head into this monumental event!

Bcuz police don’t publicize that a murdered person may have been a sex worker due to concerns of media sensationalism - stats can’t be kept and now it “appears” we are safer than pre-Pcepa.  In #yeg 3 sex workers were murdered in 2020. How are we safer? @CDNSWAlliance @r_garrison
