We’re a coalition of sex workers and allies fighting for justice, autonomy and radical change in the sex industry across New England and beyond. Through research and activism, we’re building power to challenge exploitation and ensure sex work is defined by workers and not corporations. Our focus is economic justice, accountability and structural reform. We advocate for fair wages, worker-owned businesses and policies that protect against corporate control. This is a space for sex workers with real skin in the game to speak out, share experiences and work together to shape the future of the industry through honest analysis and collective action.

We offer free one-on-one peer mentorship opportunities with real sex workers. We understand many of the unique challenges that sex workers face.  There are no brothel owners or platform owners affiliated in our peer mentorship program.

In 1970, Canadian cultural theorist Marshall McLuhan predicted: "World War III will be a guerrilla information war with no division between military and civilian participation.” We are living that war right now.

In politics, it’s corporate Democrats vs. corporate Republicans—different labels, same agenda. In the nonprofit world of sex work policy, it’s no different. We suspect a global pattern: billionaires reshaping laws across borders. When wealth is this concentrated, and politics this bought, real freedom gets harder to find.

Big Tech and globalization have completely changed the game—this is not your grandfather's capitalism. Sex workers aren’t the only ones losing control over their own business data. Big Tech giants now own, analyze, sort, and extract value from our information, profiting from what was once a private and personal exchange. This is more than capitalism—this is techno-feudalism (Varoufakis 2023). Sexual behavior, once an intrinsic part of life, has become a privately owned commodity.
