I had such a wonderful time celebrating Sex Worker Pride this weekend with my fellow workers. We marched from Washington Square Park and I tabled with my co-organizers on behalf of @decrimny.bsky.social with harm reduction supplies and zines ❤️

Thanks Red Light Disco for organizing!

(6/6) Show up for s*x workers with your actions, your votes, and yes - your money. Pretty words without material support is just performance.

(5/6) S*x Worker Pride means refusing to beg for basic human dignity. It means centering the voices that have been shouted down and the expertise that's been ignored.

(4/6) We're criminalized for existing, stigmatized for working, and then expected to be grateful for scraps. No thanks.

(3/6) There's immense pride in refusing to be silent, in demanding decriminalization while dodging cops, and in creating safety for our communities when everyone else has failed us. S*x workers show up for trans people, for migrants, for survivors, for all the people society throws away.

(2/6) While lawmakers clutch their pearls and flip-flop on human rights, s*x workers have been consistently leading fights for justice, labor rights, and bodily autonomy. We've been organizing, mobilizing, and building real solidarity - not just posting about it.

(1/6) S*x Worker Pride celebrates six years of saying: s*x workers are brilliant, powerful, and tired of your respectability politics.

(7/7) Si hoy celebras a les trabajadores pero excluyes a les trabajadores s*xuales, es hora de que revises tus tonterías excluyentes.

✊ El trabajo sexual es trabajo. Siempre.

(5/7) Les trabajadores s*xuales siempre se han organizado, han construido poder y han luchado por condiciones de trabajo más seguras, no solo para ellas mismas, sino para todas las personas.

(3/7) If you celebrate workers today but exclude s*x workers, it’s time to check your exclusionary bullshit.

✊ S*x work is work. Always.

(2/7) S*x workers have always organized, built power, and fought for safer working conditions, not just for themselves, but for everyone. From harm reduction to worker solidarity, s*x worker labor makes our communities stronger.

(1/7) Labor Day isn’t just for the workers or work that the mainstream decides is acceptable. ⬇️
A red textured background with black-and-white halftone images of a hardhat, high heels, a briefcase, and a stethoscope. In bold white text, it reads: “Labor Day is for ALL workers. S*x work = work.” DecrimNY logo appears in the bottom right corner. Fondo rojo texturizado con imágenes en blanco y negro de un casco, tacones altos, un maletín y un estetoscopio. En texto blanco y en negrita se lee: "El Día del Trabajo es para TODOS los trabajadores. S*x trabajo = trabajo". En la esquina inferior derecha aparece el logotipo de DecrimNY.

(10/10) En cualquier discusión sobre seguridad, debemos centrar las voces de los más cercanos al tema: trabajadores sexuales. Cuando las trabajadores sexuales nos dicen que el respeto y el empoderamiento mejoran su seguridad, no la policía, debemos escuchar.

(8/10) Convenientemente, deja fuera que firmó la histórica ley de 2021, que derogó el delito penal de "merodear con el propósito de dedicarse a la prostitución." Esta derogación redujo invariablemente la vigilancia policial de trabajo sexual.

(7/10) El ex gobernador, Cuomo se pronunció recientemente en contra de la despenalización del trabajo sexual, calificando la reducción de la vigilancia policial del trabajo sexual, como una amenaza para la seguridad pública.

(5/10) History shows us that the stigmatization of sex work only fuels regressive laws, from the Mann Act to SESTA-FOSTA.
Defending sex workers freedom is defending everyone's freedom. This is why we will never stop pursuing a world that put sex workers first.

(4/10) Opportunistic politicians cannot be relied on for questions about public safety.
In any discussion about safety, we must enter the voices of those closest to the issue: sex workers.
When sex workers tell us that respect and empowerment improve their safety-not police—we must listen.

(3/10) Conveniently, he leaves out that he signed the landmark 2021 law that repealed the criminal offense of "loitering for the purpose of engaging in prostitution." This repeal invariably reduced policing of SW.
