We’ve been active this year. Active in the streets, active hosting events online and in person, and active fundraising for a massive campaign to build sustainable SWer advocacy in the Bay Area. So you’ve probably heard…

Fall is kicking off, and we wanted to slow down for a moment to share more about what we've been up to. A few questions keep coming up from you all — so here they are, answered.

In the spirit of resistance and joy, we bring you our first major update of 2026.

A year of strengthening the sex worker-led foundation we stand on.

December 17th, the International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers, is a day rooted in remembrance, resistance, and collective care.

Bay Area Workers Support (BAWS) finds itself at a critical juncture. Since our establishment in 2018, we've remained steadfast in our mission to support Bay Area sex workers.
