Mission
SWOP, at its most basic, is an anti-violence campaign. As a multi-state network of sex workers and advocates, we address locally and nationally the violence that sex workers experience because of their criminal status. SWOP adopts the principles and practices of nonviolent action in order to reduce violence and achieve dignity and rights for sex workers.

What we aim to solve
Project Prosper of Florida believes that community social problems are not solved by legislators and policymakers…they are driven by people – not organizations – that live and work in the community. It is only through these efforts that we can educate and inform community leaders, policymakers and legislators about the need for appropriate and actionable services and support. People who are poor, LGBTQ people, people of color, trans folks, sex workers…all experience degrees of violence and harassment. Not just in the workplace but in their daily lives while trying to access housing, healthcare, childcare, food, clothing, education, and many other basic human needs.

COYOTE Rhode Island
Coyote RI is a New England-based group founded by Bella Robinson and based on Coyote core principles.
Coyote RI Mission Statement
Indoor sex work was decriminalized in Rhode Island in 1979 due to Margo St.James filing a class action suit to challenge the states prostitution laws and the case was dismissed after a federal judge revised Rhode Island prostitution laws. However in 2009 Rhode Island voted back in to criminalize all prostitution, so we call back into action Coyote Rhode Island (Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics).
While we oppose society’s Moral Witch Hunt against us and laws that criminalize us, we are aware that sex workers must live in the real world. At it’s best, that world disrespects and ostracizes us; at it’s worst, it seeks to exploit and even harm us.
The Rhode Island chapter of Coyote is here to offer a safe harbor from that world.
We believe adult providers can make the best choices for themselves without interference from law enforcement on the one hand nor do-gooders who want to "help” us against our will on the other hand.
If you need resources and support you will find that here. If you choose to leave this business, we seek to provide you information on the best resources that can assist you transition to another lifestyle. We respect each provider’s right to choose for herself.
We vehemently oppose all forms of human trafficking and child prostitution. The victims of these crimes deserve our compassion and support; those who exploit others in such a manner deserve severe punishment.
We advocate for laws that make sense to protect our youth rather than continuing the Moral Witch Hunt against consenting adults.
Our goal is to reducing harm by education and decriminalizing indoor consensual sex work between consenting adults.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Project-Prosper of Florida seeks to sponsor grassroots organizations who align with our mission and values.
Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.
The mission of Project Prosper of Florida is to implement human rights standards to promote civil society by involving volunteers in research, education, and advocacy and by granting financial access to grassroots organizations that allows them to develop and build diversity within their own community.
We are a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) organization.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Provide reentry strategies and services for incarcerated people as they work to return to their community
Advocate for the right to vote for criminalized populations
Advocate for the full decriminalization of sex work
Feed the hungry
Provide resources for LGBTQIA people
Advocate for decarceration
Amplify the voices of people most impacted by Poverty
Harm reduction Services to Marginalized Communities
Help Marginalized Populations register to Vote
Advocate for Anti-Criminalization
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our organization is solely compromised of people who represent our community. The voices of those most impacted by our societies issues drive our work. We are led by and for people of color, people who are marginalized and stigmatized and people who have experienced the harms of criminalization. Because we are survivor led, we are better able to provide services and support to our community because we fully understand the impact of these societal harms.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have brought the conversation of intersecting issues to public discourse. Sex Work, Sex Trafficking, Hunger, Homelessness, Generational Poverty and access to opportunity is increasing in spite of the current administration.
