With the election news this week, it’s time to keep our foot on the gas! 💨

We need to ensure Mamdani does right by sex workers by supporting the city sex worker protection act & continuing to voice support for full decrim. 🫡

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!

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

(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.

Not sure how many people fully understand and appreciate the link between sx work and disability.

Working a 9-5 isn’t always feasible. When your body and mind are exhausted, it makes a lot of sense to have a profession where you have more flexibility & control! #DisabilityPrideMonth

(1/7) 7 years ago today, SESTA/FOSTA was signed into law.

And sex workers are still paying the price.

We said it then, we’ll say it now:
FCK SESTA/FOSTA.

(1/3) What a success!!

🚨 110+ advocates rallied in Albany to demand the passage of #CeciliasAct (S2513/A3251)—a bill to decriminalize adult consensual s*x work, vacate past convictions, & ensure access to housing, jobs & benefits without fear of criminalization.
ID: A large group of advocates stand on the steps of the Million Dollar Staircase in Albany, holding signs in support of Cecilia’s Act and s*x workers’ rights. The signs read messages like “S*x Work is Work”, “Pass Cecilia’s Act for Rights in the S*x Trades”, and “Stop Violence Against S*x Workers”. The image has a red overlay, with the Decrim NY logo in the top right corner and bold white text reading “Massive Outpouring of Support for Decrim NY Advocacy Day”. A red "Press Release" label is also included at the top.

A red-toned background features a blurred image of the Anora movie poster.

(1/10) This #BlackHistoryMonth , we’re dismantling racist narratives that fuel systemic oppression.

The term “pimp” has long been used to criminalize Black men, reinforcing racist stereotypes that justify over-policing and incarceration.
A red torn-paper effect reveals an old newspaper background. Bold white text reads, "The Racist History of the Word ‘Pimp’ & Why It Still Harms Today," with "Pimp" crossed out. Below, a black text box states, "To close Black History Month, let’s dismantle racist narratives that fuel systemic oppression." DecrimNY’s red rose logo is in the top right corner.
