For decades, feminists have debated the issue of sex work. On one side of the debate are feminists who believe that sex work can be a viable occupation deserving of labor rights, and on the other side are feminists who view all commercial sex as inherently violent and degrading to women. The heated disagreement has led to policy gridlock and confusion amongst funders and has been traumatizing for both survivors and sex workers. It's time to find a common cause. What differences can we put aside? What policies can we work on together? What values do we have in common? New Moon wants to hear from you on what you believe could be ways to move forward despite our differences in perspective. #SWRights #Trafficking #CommonGround #WorkingTogether #Survivor 

Digital rights are sex workers’ rights. With the surge of tech-enabled policing in the digital sphere, sex workers face heightened risks, surveillance, and restricted access to safe working environments. At Mama Cash, we advocate for a digital world where sex workers can safely connect, organize, and earn a living without fear of censorship or violence. Let’s ensure #OnlineSafety for all. 🌐 #DigitalRights #OnlineSafety #SexWorkersPride #SexWorkersRights #MamaCash40Years #BodilyAutonomy #ChangeThatLasts 

✨ This month, we're throwing it back on Thursdays and sharing excerpts from our 2011 Sexual Freedom Summit. Kicking things off, Ricci Levy shares her definition of sexual freedom. We have a hunch that this definition has not changed since 2011. ✨ How do you define sexual freedom? #tbt #sfmonth24 #throwbackthursday

At New Moon, we believe that everyone deserves the right to determine their own future, free from stigma, discrimination, and exclusion. Sex workers are denied basic labor rights and face countless barriers, but we are here to change that. Together, we're building a society where rights are respected and where the voices of those in the sex trade are at the forefront of change. #SexWorkersRights #LaborDay

There is an artificial divide between the anti-trafficking and sex workers' rights movements. We care about the same people. New Moon wants to discuss how we can move towards collective liberation. Contact us at contact@newmoonfund.org.

The FSC (Free Speech Coalition) is on a mission to establish a credit union specifically for the adult industry—a crucial step toward ending financial discrimination and establishing protections. They need 200 more surveys completed to move forward and prove interest. You can help by: 1) filling out the survey or 2) sharing this post with your network. Let’s work together to create a financial institution that supports and protects everyone in the adult industry. More about FSC and the initiative: https://lnkd.in/gMnZRSvJ
