About
Our Work & Values:
We are a small collective of sex workers, disability justice-informed organizers, and our co-conspirators.
Β
Intimate Access fund is a peer-led, community-driven response of offering financial relief to sex workers, with the aim of strengthening our community through collective care based via wealth redistribution.
We believe that care work is direct action. Care webs, mutual aid, and other forms of collective care in the absence of systems that fail to provide care, or worse, have actively caused harm to our communities, are more important than ever. Government inaction continues to threaten the survival of our most vulnerable, so care-driven coalitions are vital to fill the gaps left by the state. Our accountability to those most impacted includes creating opportunities for peer-to-peer support, education and advocacy which respond to and consider the interlocking pursuits of autonomy, solidarity and self-liberation of both of sex workers and disabled folks.
- We offer micro-grants to all sex workers, in any type of sex work, who are living & working on "Vancouver Island, British Columbia". We prioritize requests for support from sex workers who are at greatest risk of experiencing the harms of poverty, stigma and isolation.Β
- This is not an emergency fund β funds will not be distributed on an emergency basis.
- When we have surplus funds, we will open up applications for a period of 2 weeks. Cash is given whenever possible.Β
- Applications from the most marginalized sex workers (chronically-ill, disabled and medically high-risk, low-income, unhoused/unstably-housed, outdoor, youth, migrant, QT/BIPOC workers) are prioritized.
- We also prioritize first time requests. When we have surplus funds,Β we strive to give an amount to 2nd & 3rd time applicants, but this is dependent on request volume with priority going to multiply marginalized, criminalized, in person workers.
- As a collective, we do not profit from this. Our budget, including all donations and up front expenses (such as one time purchase of promo materials and any upfront merch costs) are publicly available on this platform.
- The best way of offering support is to become a monthly donor to our Intimate Access Fund!Β
Recurring donations allow us to provide sustainable support to local workers.Β We exist in an interdependent world - your donation is an act of solidarity!
