This Saturday!
. But don't just take our word for it — let the leaders from all of the organizations tell you why it's more important than ever to support trans/sex workers amid the global pandemic, below."If life was difficult before, today everything has been reconfigured and it is evident that to survive the pandemic you have to have power.
NYC is currently one of the hardest hit by this global pandemic and it is clear how the trans and sex work communities have historically been and continue being marginalized and forgotten during this heath crisis. Despite this, our community's support for each other shines in its absence. Our collective, TRANSgrediendo, has organized, articulated, and led itself during COVID19. We're currently providing mutual aid to over 215 trans folks, sex workers, immigrants, and people living with HIV who don't have access to necessary resources in order to sustain themselves in confinement, a situation which intensifies depression and anxiety within our community.
We are currently phoning and videoconferencing with community members in need. We're able to support our community thanks to donations from individuals and organizations, but these funds dry up. Our community is hungry and needs us. We know from experience what it feels like to not have food at home.
If the community and organizations want to do something for us and with us, now is the time to support the grassroots initiatives led by our own community. The Sex Work 101 Project is one of those created for us and by us, for trans folks, sex workers, immigrants, and with the purpose of encouraging resilience during these hard times.""[La Casa de las Muñecas] started a few weeks after the health emergency.
