What’s the story behind O$A?
In the Spring of 2020, after seeing the incredible efforts of sex working communities supporting each other in the pandemic, we started our own mutual aid fund for Rhode Island based sex workers. In 2020, we redistributed over $24,000 to 54 sex workers in Rhode Island
Recipients of our stipend cited needing assistance with groceries, rent, healthcare, childcare, housing, & much more. We have since grown to include the diverse needs of our community and hope to continue growing and evolving while maintaining our core principles of peer support, a commitment to anti-oppressive values, and community care.
As of January 2024, O$A has distributed $123,360 to sex workers in Rhode Island ❤
O$A is a growing community-based organization of current & former sex workers in Rhode Island
