We’re concerned this bill will harm sex workers by making it impossible for them to work from hotels, which pushes them into more dangerous street-based work.

Prior attempts to “train” hotel workers to spot trafficking have inevitably led to sexist, racist, & classist profiling.

Harvard just closed one of the most visible Harvard UWU workplaces on campus with only one hour of notice and without bargaining. Disgusting and devastating.

At today's hearing, indie adult producers spoke up about how the law would put them out of business

Many assume financial burden of age-verification is nbd. In reality, it has the ability to put most sites out of business—which may be the point. Here's how it works: 1/

Women in Blockchain panels shouldn’t exist.

Today on the Women in Blockchain panel ETHBoston | April 2024, we agreed that while we appreciate efforts at inclusion, we should instead highlight women’s expertise by making them individual speakers, & solving for problems women care about.

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

I’m literally so proud of the work we all did to make this briefing happen, and this is just the beginning 🙌

If you’re in Massachusetts, could you do me a big favor and write to your legislators?

What’s ironic is that people will use this argument to support the Nordic model to “protect” these women…

What do you think happens to the undocumented SWer when the “buyer” you want to criminalize is arrested?

Kudos to Akila Quinio or her editor for the best subheading I've ever seen on a sex work article.

'Campaigners say debanking & financial exclusion increases vulnerability to criminals and traffickers' - a fact so simple it borders on truism, but one the media often struggles with.

Happy to have had the chance to speak to the Financial Times’ Akila Quinio about banking discrimination against sex workers!

Access to banking should be a basic human right.

Yes. Culture Critic is a white supremacist, fascist Trojan horse. Stop following them and stop retweeting them.
