October 17, 2021 at Purgatory.

Myself, Kit Richardson, and Mikaela Berry reunited for a Covid-safe benefit event for Lysistrata MCCF, a kickass community-run sex worker activist cooperative. We raised over $1300 responsibly! We had a live narcan training, a wonderful tattoo artist, a DJ, live comedy, and many a raffle prize to be won. Pics by Dee Mills.

Unbound was our generous Good Vibes Ticket Sponsor, and donated an exclusive discount code PLUS raffle prizes! Their sponsorship allowed us to give out 20 VIP tickets free of charge to those with a financial need.

The Opioid Overdose Prevention Program (OOPP) at Bluestockings Cooperative offered walk-up trainings on how to use Naloxone and gave out free Naloxone kits and fentanyl test strips.

MISSED CONNECTION: A CRAIGSLIST CABARET

April 30, 2018 at The Museum of Sex.

A benefit event formed out of grief for the loss of the Craigslist Personals section after the passing of FOSTA/SESTA, a dangerous bill passed in April that rolls back Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (considered one of the most important pieces of internet legislature ever created). In addition to threatening the internet as we know it, this bill puts sex workers in immeasurable danger by forcing them away from the safety of online vetting and advertising and back onto the streets.

The event took place on April 30th, 2018, where an amazing lineup of performers all prepared Craigslist-themed acts to pay an homage to our favorite cornerstone of the internet and over a thousand dollars of goods and services from our sponsors were raffled off to raise money for The Sex Workers Project, an invaluable nonprofit that provides client-centered legal and social services to individuals who engage in sex work, regardless of whether they do so by choice, circumstance, or coercion, which is more vital now than ever.
