LA HB67 is a bill that will decriminalize sex work in Louisiana!

New Orleans DSA is a proud coalition partner in Women with a Vision’s campaign for sex workers’ rights! Decriminalizing sex work will end the criminalization of adults who engage in the consensual, transactional labor of trading sexual services for money or goods by removing criminal penalties from offenses related to consensual sex work.

Decriminalization is a racial justice, health justice, and human rights issue. It is an economic justice and labor rights issue. The injustices of criminalization leave sex workers vulnerable to an increased risk of violence. Sex workers, like any other worker, deserve the right to labor free of violence and with equal protection under the law.

With the April 12th legislative session approaching fast, it’s essential we get our message out in front of as many Louisianians as possible. We plan to do this through door hangers, yard signs, canvassing and events such as our Sex Worker: Speak Out! Panel Discussion and Q&A. These funds will be used exclusively by New Orleans DSA in our support work as coalition partners in the Sex Work Decriminalization campaign. With your help, we can fund these projects and compensate sex workers for their labor in this campaign.
