@bostonswac.bsky.social"The order recognizes a distinction between consensual adult sex work and sex trafficking and seeks to make it easier for workers to report violence without fear of being arrested or prosecuted."
@bostonswac.bsky.socialSome new press on our recent win in Cambridge!

@bostonswac.bsky.socialJust a clarification - the vote was 8-0-1, with 8 yes votes and 1 vote present!
@bostonswac.bsky.socialThe city of Cambridge has moved to decriminalize sex work!
Thank you @csindie.bsky.social @mhlevy.bsky.social for the great coverage.
@bostonswac.bsky.socialAnd thanks to our sponsors @marcgov.bsky.social @votejivan.bsky.social @councilloralzubi.bsky.social @mayorsiddiqui.bsky.social @pattynolan.bsky.social for their support making the sex worker community safer.
@bostonswac.bsky.socialThanks to all the orgs who supported our policy order! @bostondsa.org @ishtar-collective.net @fightforthefuture.org @woodhullfreedom.bsky.social @mass50501.bsky.social @protectransfutures.bsky.social @hgsuuaw.bsky.social and more!
@bostonswac.bsky.socialVICTORY!!! Last night, the Cambridge City Council voted 8-1 to pass a policy order that deprioritizes the arrest and prosecution of persons for consensual adult sex work. We are one step closer to statewide decriminalization. When we fight, we WIN.
@bostonswac.bsky.socialFollowing Somerville's lead, we are asking the Cambridge City Council to deprioritize arrests for consensual adult sex work, because this is the only policy that keeps our community safe. If you live or work in Cambridge, please sign and share our petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/pe...
@somershade.bsky.socialReposted by @bostonswac.bsky.socialOn Monday, the Cambridge city council will consider following Somerville's lead (from 2020) by decriminalizing consensual, adult sex work.
I encourage everybody to read the letter linked below and consider adding your name in support.
@bostonswac.bsky.socialThank you so much Chris!! ❤️

@bostonswac.bsky.socialTonight we went out to support the striking workers at Encore casino! Casino workers and sex workers both face the stigma of working in a “vice” industry. Sex workers often work at casinos, and we appreciate the hard work of all the staff. Encore, pay your workers a fair wage!
@bostonswac.bsky.socialWish we could’ve been in both places at once!!
@bostonswac.bsky.socialThank you so much for turning out! Next year will be even bigger.
@protectransfutures.bsky.socialReposted by @bostonswac.bsky.socialIt was an honor to march with y'all we'll see you next time :)
