STAND WITH MAGGIE'S AGAINST BILL C36.

This campaign has been endorsed by Belle Knox, Tasha Reign, Mia Isabella and Sarah Vandella:

"For too long, sex workers have been marginalized and deprived of basic human rights. We are entitled to equal representation under the law, safe work and conditions, and freedom of expression without censure. Most importantly, it must be recognized by society, religious and political institutions, and individuals that we are deserving of dignity and respect despite the taboo nature of our profession." 

- Belle Knox, Porn Performer, Activist

Who We Are

Toronto is home to Maggie’s Sex Worker Action Project, a non-profit organization that has spent years tirelessly fighting for the rights of Sex Workers across Canada. Maggie’s is run by and for current and former sex workers and is founded on the belief that in order for sex workers to improve their circumstances, sex workers must control their own lives and destinies. Maggie’s mission is to provide crucial services in education, advocacy, and support to assist sex workers to live and work with safety and dignity.

"I am so proud to be a part of a cause that supports Sex Workers in a sex-positive way! I hope my fans see how important our rights are and want to be a part of this project! I know they will! Have fun with the goodies, and I can't wait to make a video and go on a date with a lucky fan!"

- Tasha Reign, Porn Performer, Activist

Why We Need You

Currently, Maggie’s is facing a budget crunch as we are already stretching our budget to maintain, expand and improve our vitally needed services, such as our weekly Lounge drop-in for sex workers and our street outreach; We want to be able to meet the needs of all of our community members while expanding our outreach and creating opportunities to reach people who are in need of our supports and services. We are seeking to further develop our programming, improve accessibility and increase our reach. To do so, we are undergoing a process of re-orientation to ensure our long-term sustainability, with our services reflecting the needs of workers in our community, including street-based workers.

(Mia Isabella, mia-isabella.com)

"I am thrilled to do my part for a wonderful organization like Maggie's, representing Trans Sex Workers not only in America and Canada, but all over the world. It's a wonderful thing to be able to use my celebrity to raise funds and awareness -- and I look forward to meeting the generous donor who wins the dinner date with me! For far too long, Trans Sex Workers have been hiding in the shadows or the punch line of tasteless jokes. It's time for some positive changes."

- Mia Isabella, T-Girl Adult Entertainer, Trans Activist, mia-isabella.com


The Difference You Can Make

As a non-profit, Maggie’s relies on government funding and donor contributions to keep their services running and their resources stocked. From educative programming, safety training, counseling and a safe place to hang out with other sex-workers, Maggie’s is a multi-faceted organization that is also active within many forums to fight for the rights and safety of sex workers.

We want to  be able to hit the streets and expand our  one-on-one work with our valued community members. Our members need supplies to ensure their health and safety, and our services to ensure that the supportive community is kept strong and our rights are continually being fought for.
