From Chris Giraldo of the Sex Worker Giving Circle, “I’m so thrilled to share that the SWGC and our brilliant comrades and SWGC grantee partner orgs The Kua’ana Project, Support Ho(s)e, and SWOP Los Angeles took over the latest issue of the Quarterly Journal on Responsive Philanthropy, titled “From the Frontlines: Understanding Sex Worker-Led Movements”. I’m so honored to have gotten the chance to co-conspire with all three inspirationally fierce (and personal icons to me) groups to take philanthropy to task and deepen the resourcing of sex worker-led organizing. Click here to read the whole issue, and of course, share with whomever you like!”
From Brandi Collins-Calhoun, the NCRP Movement Engagement Manager: “Be Fund(ed) or Die: The Precarity of Sex Worker Organizing” by Red Schulte, with contributions and considerations from The Support Ho(s)e Collective, is about the importance of “accompliceship, not charity” and names the “potential for participatory programs led by communities directly impacted to shift the discourse away from voyeuristic donor-driven charity and into accompliceship and wealth redistribution.”
