PHREESTYLE CLINIC: A FUNDRASER WORKSHOP FOR DECRIMNY
Pole Fundraiser: DecrimNY x Dey with Full Circle Bk
DecrimNY is excited to host a special 1.5 hour flow & movement pole class led by instructor and stripper extraordinaire Dey (@deypho3nix). Join us for a movement session centered on honoring s3x workers and developing our own freestyles--all proceeds will go to efforts to decriminalize and uplift s3x work in New York. We will gift you a small goodie bag including an informational zine about Decrim, and are so excited for this deepening and celebratory freestyle workshop!
Whether you're a current or former SWer, an ally, or just interested in learning more about sex work organizing, we'd love to see you there. <3 Thank you so much to those who attended our last class or donated, and we'll love to see all returning or new faces! We will (hopefully) host another in June for Pride! S3x worker pole teachers, please reach out to us if you are interested in possibly teaching in the future...
About Decrim NY:DecrimNY is a coalition of sex workers and their supporters with the mission to decriminalize, decarcerate, and destigmatize sex work in New York state! In 2019, Decrim NY worked with elected officials to draft the Stop Violence in the Sex Trades Act (SVSTA), the first statewide legislation to decriminalize sex work which we continue lobbying to pass. The bill was most recently renamed to Cecilia's Act for Rights in the Sex Trades to honor trailblazing activist Cecilia Gentili. Organizer, mother, queer elder, and pillar of queer/trans/immigrant NYC community, Cecilia Gentili was a co-founder of DecrimNY and we continue the work in her legacy.
In addition to lobbying for Cecilia's Act, Decrim NY and partners successfully advocated for the repeal of Loitering for the Purpose of Prostitution, a criminal offense also known as the "Walking While Trans Ban," and for the passage of the Survivors of Trafficking Attaining Relief Together (START) Act.
