Roses are red, dahlias are black, BAWS will be bringing the Bad Date List back ❤️

We are now hosting the Bad Date List on our website! The BDL is a community-based violence intervention tool & a database where SWers can make anonymous reports of bad dates. Website in bio 👆🏼
Set on a magenta-to-red gradient backdrop, a pair of oversized candy hearts float near the center. The left heart is a pastel mint green and reads, in red block letters, "10 THINGS I H8 ABOUT U." The right heart is lavender-pink and says, also in red block letters, "THE BAD DATE LIST IS BACK." At the very top, bold white text reads: "TO: SPICY WORKERS". Near the bottom, more bold white text reads “FROM: BAWS”, accompanied by a small lipstick-kiss icon and a circular BAWS logo in the lower right corner.

We are witnessing state violence against people doing what they need to do to survive. Migrant SWers have always been a part of this struggle. From all across The Bay, we stand in solidarity and say FUCK ICE. Please check our linktree for resources to help stay safe. 👠✨
