Rights & Safety for Sex Workers
We are a small grassroots collective of poetic people impacted by the criminalization of sex work. We advocate for the rights and safety of all people with experience in sexual labor.
Our Work
Policy Advocacy (Decrim)
We advocate for decriminalization and protections at the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, and The State of Minnesota. In 2025, we launched our Sanctuary State campaign, “No More Dead Canaries” that clearly describes how Minnesota could be the safest state for people engaged in sexual labor.
Public Education (Anti-Stigma)
We work with health, social, and legal professionals to offer education, advocacy, and support in delivering affirmative care to people with lived experience in the sex trades. Reach out to collaborate! We can work with any budget. We are developing a living toolkit as a resource for people who want to support the movement.
Community (Outreach & Support)
As we grow, our hope is to offer space and resources for people to learn about decriminalization, their rights, and how to navigate work safely. Our harm reduction programming is in the works and will be launched in spring!
