May Fundraiser - Red Canary Song!
As we enter into AAPI heritage month, we wanted to make sure to continue to feature organizations that are supporting the community - we cannot rest or be silent while anti-Asian violence persists.
Our next "Money-raising Monday" fundraiser on May 3rd will feature Red Canary Song, a grassroots collective of sex workers and allies fighting to secure the rights of Asian and migrant massage parlor workers and sex workers.
We wanted to share their mission and tenets to highlight the remarkable work they’re doing, and to encourage you to donate as much as you’re able to:
"Red Canary Song centers base building with migrant workers through a labor rights framework and mutual aid. We believe that full decriminalization is necessary for labor organizing and anti-trafficking.
Our tenets:
No more police raids and deportations. Policing is not social work. Arrest and sentencing, even with diversion programming, is not a humane way to deliver social services.
Labor rights in our workplaces, regardless of immigration status: Freedom to openly assemble without fear, share resources, and collectively organize for better wages and working conditions
Nothing about us without us. Respect and dignified livelihood for all sex workers and migrant workers."
