Today has been a whirlwind! So far, I’ve done an interview in Brooklyn for the, “Oldest Profession” podcast, hosted by the insightful and effervescent Kaytlin Bailey. Then it was off with her to 5th Avenue in Manhattan to participate in a Sex Worker Rights Roundtable with Dame Catherine Healy from New Zealand, and some other amazing advocates from New York and beyond. Including several folks from the org Kaytlin represents, Decriminalize Sex Work. After that, we ran to Chelsea, where I’m chilling for a few minutes before I head off to a quite possibly star studded party, hosted by Decriminalize Sex Work, at The Cornell Club, at which Dame Catherine is a guest of honour! With the ultrafabulous Ceyenne Doroshow as Emcee!! Anyway, it’s been a day of adventures, but very little chance for photos. So while I have a second, here’s a quick one of today’s, “Running around NYC” outfit! Oh, and did I mention I did a comedy show last night? Yeah. Deep breath. Now, off to more adventures! #trans #adventurer #activist #writer #queerfemme #comedian #pundit #model #sexworkerrights #sexworkiswork #sexworkisrealwork #decriminalizesexwork (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-e_FIhqq1/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1svvkwnkl3j15

Regrann from @swopchicago - #Repost @micahbazant ・・・ New art for #InternationalWhoresDay this Saturday 6/2! Created with @thejessicaraven & Nona Connor. DM me (@micahbazant) if you want a copy of this image for your action! . . In April, the federal govt passed #SESTA (Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act)— a law that *claims* to protect survivors of sex trafficking. But SESTA doesn't protect anyone. Its endangering youth AND adult sex workers, forcing folks back out onto the streets where people are being killed and brutalized by police, clients, and yes, traffickers. Learn more at SurvivorsAgainstSESTA.org! . . Jessica Raven is a survivor & a mama and the Executive Director of @safespacesdc. She said: "Survival sex was my alternative to sexual assault on the street and in foster care. I was a queer brown girl in the sex trade at ages 15, 16, 17 and the anti-trafficking movement does not speak for me. I want HOUSING & RESOURCES for youth. Not handcuffs." We ALL deserve safety and support. . . Nona is a poet, badass trans organizer & former survival sex worker. "For those who want to see sex workers climb up by their bootstraps to find alternatives, Nona's done that and she’s built those opportunities for other people as well. Nona was stabbed 48 times in 2014, and she crawled bloody back to safety and rebuilt her life. This attack didn’t happen while she was engaging in sex work; it happened while refusing to have sex with a man who asked. For those who say that the sex trade is inherently dangerous, I can say the same about any work (or nonwork) activity that involves men. 90% of female restaurant workers experience sexual harassment on the job and no one is calling for the elimination of the restaurant industry as a solution; we’re calling for safety. For those who *don’t* want to work in the sex trade, we need to build alternatives and provide life-saving resources. For those who do, we need to make the industry safer." . . #letussurvive #survivorsagainstsesta #survivorsagainstfosta #sexworkiswork #sexwork #sexworkerrights #IWD - #regrann
