Capacity Building

We know it takes more than money to change the world. Through pilot programming and technical assistance, we increase accessibility to skills and resources necessary for movement-building.

As people with lived experience in the sex trade, we know it takes more than money [link] to advance rights for people in the sex trade. Because of this, we’re working together to build the tools and resources we wish we’d had as new advocates. We consult with our networks and partners to identify our community’s needs, test programs to fill those gaps, and collaborate with grassroots organizations and nonprofits to create a sustainable impact.

Building Power, Skills, Community

SPOKES HUB

Spokes Hub is a free online advocacy academy built by and for people with lived experience in the sex trade. Through peer learning and presenting, participants sharpen their writing and public speaking skills, deepen their understanding of complex issues, and find their voice. Graduates of the program can access financial support for their advocacy through the Awards Pool, which has so far awarded nearly $24,000.

AAIR DIRECTORY

The Advocate for Adult Industry Reform (AAIR) Directory is a centralized hub of resources and opportunities for advocates with lived experience in the sex workers’ rights movement. From multimedia educational resources to events and aid funds, this growing catalog is regularly updated and reviewed by peers to ensure it’s relevant and useful.
