Black graphic with a bar chart and text. The bar chart has 2 bars, one that is much shorter and one that is much longer to represent extreme growth. The shorter bar has 144 on top of it, and Jan 2025 underneath it, while the longer bar has 1,479 on top of it and Jan 2026 underneath it. Next to the bar chart it reads "Over 10x as many state and local law enforcement agencies are partnering with ICE compared to when President Trump took office.

Since the start of President Trump’s second term, ICE has raced to enlist local law enforcement agencies in its cruel deportation agenda.

Bi folks' health is impacted by the intersection of anti-Black racism, biphobia, heterosexism, and whorephobia. Black bi folks often navigate multiple systems of oppression, resulting in higher risks for health disparities. Adequate health = ending ALL oppression

A graphic that features a hand holding a megaphone & the following text: "March 3rd is International Sex Worker Rights Day This marks the 25th anniversary of the 2001 festival in Kolkata, India, where over 25,000 sex workers gathered, despite opposition from prohibitionist groups that pressured the government to revoke their permit. Today, as the current administration’s deep cuts to Title X & Medicaid gut public STI programs & reproductive care, the sexual economy is being pushed into a corner. As a self-regulatory body, PASS: Provides industry-standard STI testing policies that public systems are abandoning. Advocates for workers whose safety is most at risk under these new federal restrictions. Builds policies through a diverse community of volunteer public & sexual health practitioners, researchers, & adult industry workers - NOT by a government that seeks to ignore us.

Happy International Sex Workers Rights Day!

Sex work is work

Today is International Sex Workers’ Rights Day Sex work is work, and sex workers deserve respect, equality, and the same rights and protections as all workers. On 3 March 2001, over 25,000 sex workers in India gathered for the Kolkata Sex Worker Freedom Festival to advocate for sex worker rights, including safety at work. Prohibitionist groups tried to prevent the festival from taking place by pressuring the government to revoke the group’s permit, but were unsuccessful. Since then, 3 March has become an important date to promote sex worker rights, highlighting the need for sex work to be recognised as legitimate work and for sex workers to be protected under the law. Recognising sex work as work is a vital step towards fighting for decriminalisation, anti-discrimination protections and labour rights.

Did you know that in some parts of unceded Australia, sex work and sex workers are still criminalised? The fight for sex work to be recognised as real work in Australia is far from over. Until all sex workers are free from discrimination, stigma and criminalisation, none of us are truly free.

But I thought sex work was “legal” in Australia? Decriminalisation removes laws and penalties criminalising all aspects of sex work between consenting adults. Sex work is then covered under existing health and safety laws. Legalisation involves laws and regulations permitting sex work under certain conditions, while all other sex work remains criminalised. Under legalisation, governments impose special regulations just for the sex industry. Sex work is partially criminalised in WA Full criminalisation in SA

On International Sex Workers' Rights Day we reiterate the importance of decriminalisation of sex work. Sex work is work! And there is still much more to do before it is recognised as such in Australia.
Read our decriminalisation briefing paper scarletalliance.org.au/wp-content/u...

Today is International Sex Workers' Rights Day.

It's the perfect day to spoil your favourite sex worker and do something nice for them!

Supporting local sex worker organisations with a donation would also be a good idea.

Love goes out to all my fellow sex workers! ♥️

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.
🧵

(2/2) It encompasses a wide range of identities and attractions, including pansexuality, polysexuality, and omnisexuality. I have a feeling this post will be relevant/useful again for #Pride

(1/2) PSA for #BisexualHealthAwarenessMonth: bi folks exist. You'd think I wouldn't have to say this in 2026, but here we are. The first step to providing adequate health is recognition. Bi folks not only exist, but bisexuality is an umbrella☂️.

(2/2) Although Black History Month is "over," what it highlights is year-round. Despite society saying otherwise, Black women ARE women. So, for #Women'sHistoryMonth, I want folks to look at SWOP's post on Hannah Elias (sex worker & real estate entrepreneur): www.instagram.com/p/DVUDpFmkXv...

(1/2) Throughout #BackHistoryMonth, @swopla.bsky.social took the necessary time to honour the contributions of Black femmes, trans women, and gender non-conforming individuals who paved the way for the rights and privileges many (sex workers and otherwise) have today.
