Some of our brilliant and creative community at our Oxford University Pole Sports summer showcase! It truly was such a stunning afternoon, featuring a range of witty, fun, spicy, and unforgettable performances! This is why we protect q***r art! Thank you to everyone who attended in solidarity with s3x workers - we raised £300 for EnglishCollectiveofProstitutes 💕 Massive shoutout to our MCs, our volunteers, and our showcase officer! 🥰

On International Wh*re’s Day, our team wants to emphasize that we uphold the values asserted by the over 100 striking s*x workers in Lyon, as well as the countless s*x workers advocating for better treatment throughout history from all around the world.

As a team, we categorically reject unfair labor practices, and stand in opposition to any backlash against workers asking for fairer conditions. Wh*res of the world, unite! 💋

During this pride month, we take inspiration from the incredible legacy of Marsha P. Johnson, an activist and s*x worker. When trans folx are being targeted by hateful governments, when LGBTQ activists are being shadowbanned by greedy platforms, when q***r s*x workers are being disproportionately criminalized by the cops...we must protect each other and fight back harder than ever. Rather than silencing and tone policing the most marginalized around us, we amplify their voices.

“No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us.” Marsha P. Johnson ❤️
