December 17th Observance

On December 17th, We also renew our commitment to solidarity. The majority of violence against sex workers is not just violence against sex works—it’s also violence against transwomen, against women of color, against drug users, against immigrants. We cannot end the marginalization and victimization of all sex workers without also fighting trans-phobia, racism, stigma and criminalization of drug use, and xenophobia.

International Sex Worker Day

International Sex Workers Day is observed annually on June 2 of each year, honors sex workers and recognizes their often exploited working conditions. The event commemorates the occupation of Église Saint-Nizier in Lyon by more than a hundred sex workers on 2 June 1975 to draw attention to their inhumane working conditions.

Hotline

We provide the a 24/7 hotline for sex workers to call when they are in crisis or simply need a listening ear. Along with our sister project SWOP Behind Bars this hotline serves as a crucial tool for returning citizens to connect with resources.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

SWOP-USA maintains that decriminalization of sex work and anti-discriminatory policies are the best way to reduce harm in the sex trade, the benefits of which include (but are not limited to) sex workers being better able to seek services and opportunities, secure long term housing, report crimes without fear of arrest, be less susceptible to abuse at the hands of abusive police, and more safely screen clients. SWOP-USA also asserts that decriminalization would help law enforcement more effectively identify instances of human trafficking, as more time would be spent on pursuing leads on abuse as opposed to trying to police the behaviors of consenting adults.

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, as well as intersecting issues of racism, gender violence, poverty, and discrimination.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

SWOP-USA vies to enable sex workers and their supporters to make change and raise awareness in their regions. Chapters are the foundation of the SWOP network, and what we primarily invest in as a national organization.

-Recent hiring of our inaugural Executive Director, our first full-time staff person.

-Direct mentorship of chapters and activist to create impactful change.

-Creation of a Community Advisory Board to design and implement capacity building educational materials for chapters.

-Increased national advocacy in response to regressive laws, especially SESTA/FOSTA.

-Observance of December 17th, International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers.

-Building community among the most vulnerable sex workers.

-Fighting transphobia and sex worker stigma.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

SWOP-USA presently has a Board of Directors consisting of 11 active participants.

As the issues of the human rights of sex workers makes it's way into the mainstream, more sex workers and their allies are stepping up and speaking out. SWOP-USA will continue to employ technology, community building, live events, and the passion of marginalized people demanding their human rights to drive our message into 2019 and beyond. With the financial help of our supporters, we feel quite capable of continuing our uphill slog for equality and safety.

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

SWOP-USA has successfully created an extensive network of US activists seeking to promote the human rights of sex workers.

SWOP-USA is responsible for the creation of International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, which in 2015 was recognized in over 95 events in 35 countries and at least 28 U.S. cities.

We have created a consistent media presence and made our organization visible to the mainstream, and fostered media connections that continue to amplify our message whenever we have a particular item to address.

We have expanded our Board or Directors and are making progress in our mission to create sustainable leadership and protocols for this organization.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.

Data

We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.

Policies and processes

We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
