Elitist SWers are such a bad vibe. You are not better than the woman walking the street. I am not better than the woman walking the street. We were just given different life circumstances but we’re all trying to support ourselves. Can’t be high-end without insinuating someone else is low-end.

Interested in sponsoring? We’d love to hear from you. 💗 (Or- buy a ticket and support us there! Every penny goes to vulnerable workers and survivors in need. Early Bird pricing available until September 30th!)

We could still definitely use a few more sponsors to help offset event costs- especially as we’re committed to keeping the evening accessible to all who want to attend and celebrate with us, while supporting both local and Indigenous workers and businesses along the way.

And please do check out Action ontarienne'sElles parlent podcast- they’ve featured important conversations about justice for sex workers, including decriminalization, and they even stepped up to support our Christmas giving last year in turn. We’re very lucky to have their support again. 💗

I don’t want to launch this with only a few profiles to avoid the women listed being targeted by bad actors; so if you’re interested please send your info along, I’ll be getting back to everyone that has submitted information this week.

educate about the important of being involved in local politics, the importance of decriminalization for adult industry workers, and the importance of involving the locals in your politics.

There is a prevalent issue where the average citizen fees incredibly distant from politicians, and we wanted to show everyone there- those we serve, our board, political candidates, our beloved supporters- that we are stronger united than divided, and of course,

Our invitational was a huge success! We had higher attendance than we could have anticipated, and local NDP and green representatives attended to help us bridge the gap between the under-served people in Ottawa, and politicians.

Lateral violence is by design. Systems that hoard power benefit when marginalized people are distracted fighting over scraps. It is so easy to look at your peers and think, I deserve more than you, & I can take this from you… than it is to confront the system hoarding it all.

At Take Back The Night 2026 in Ottawa; We were told we could not speak. Sex workers were not welcome. We spoke anyways. We were applauded. Next time, we will be welcomed.

Started a new project. Thought about how frustrating it was that so many workers are pressured frequently into data scraping esque scams, or sending face photos to malicious third parties under the guise of “making sure they’re real”, and came up with a creative solution.

We want to know who you are, what you’ve done, what you hope to achieve, and what you think the world needs to be better.

Requirements and description: No formal experience is required. We value informal experience; helping neighbours, friends, colleagues, or community, and find that a conversation about what sex work and caring for your community mean to you far is more relevant than just institutional credentials.

CORAS is growing, and we’re again looking for a new Board Member! 💗 We’ve grown enormously over the past year, and we need another pair of hands- someone caring, excited, reliable, with lived experience in the industry (or as a survivor), who is comfortable taking initiative.

can you guys sign up to our mailling list on account of it was really hard to make :(

Community requires a little trust. Assume good faith in the people you’re working with. If you’re sea-lion-ing every single decision, or picking apart everything your community does, you’re going to burn through the people trying to build it, and end up isolated and alone.

We REALLY need people to march with us at Pride. 🌈 Allies, partners, friends, family- everyone is welcome. Ottawa’s sex workers’ rights movement needs a community behind it. If we want rights, we have to show up and fight for them. Come march with CORAS. ❤️

Housing is a human rights issue. When leaving violence means finding $2,500+ rent, perfect credit and more, housing keeps people trapped. Landlords don’t provide housing. They hoard access to it and profit from our need to survive. We need public housing and strong regulations against landlords.

CORAS ‘It Takes a Village’ program provides practical, in-home support to women in Ottawa, Ontario (or within a 20 minute drive of the city’s outskirts) who could use some help getting through all the small things that become enormous when you're doing everything yourself.

Support is free for low-income individuals (or those in need), and pay-what-you-can otherwise. Please share and help us find those who could benefit from this service!

You don’t even consider that your time or care is something you can’t give to those in need. You just help. I think our nonprofit sector has forgotten that far too often.

help. That's why the people most affected by an issue need to be leading these movements. Not because academics, lifetime professionals, investors, or large nonprofits have nothing to contribute- they absolutely do- but because lived experience creates a kind of accountability
