What Did You Do Today For The Cause?

I know that there are many of us across the globe who work tirelessly and unpaid on our respective projects to bring peace to the prostitute nation.

 

Here’s what I did today:

 

I spent 30  minutes talking with another sex worker rights activist, actually we wrestled about the next right action,

 

Then I spent 45 minutes on the phone talking to a worker about her case,

 

Then I spent another hour and 10 minutes on the phone with another worker about her frustration and her next right action.

 

I called and emailed  three orgs asking for their support.

 

I emailed 17 sex worker activists about an up coming action.

 

I texted with a sex worker rights activist in another state about  supporting their efforts.

 

Texted with another sex worker rights activist in yet another state about gaining a contact to help with our direct action.

 

I friended that ally and we set up a date to speak on the phone.

 

I posted on link on fb about how the anti prostitutist are really quite violent towards our class.

 

I called a researcher-left a message.

 

Last night I spent about an hour and 20 minutes exchanging information and supporting an other sex worker rights activist in Europe,

 

Before that, I spent two hours in a meeting with like minded activist on other issues not directly related to my industry.  I guess I would call that coalition building.

 

Before that meeting, I had a ten minute conversation with a political organizer about prop 35.

 

Before that, I had tea with a retired labor organizer about getting some help with our bylaws, that took about an hour.

 

Before that, I met with our customer plaintiff and recorded him-35  minutes.  I was late because my bus was late.

 

Before that, I emailed and called several legislators to ask for their support for anti discrimination legislation.

 

And I cannot remember what I did before that…

 

I’m not bragging, Im just saying…

 

I’m saying I enjoy my work, but its all unpaid.

 

I’d like to be supported in my work and get at least one other person resourced in joining me.
