Who is Desiree Alliance?

The Desiree Alliance is a diverse, volunteer-based, sex worker-led network of organizations, communities and individuals across the US working in harm reduction, direct services, political advocacy and health services for sex workers.

How do I fit in?

Desiree Alliance is a forum for people who have experience of sex work (this could mean working as an escort, sex worker, prostitute, street worker, massage worker, exotic dancer, hustler, living with the support of a sugar-daddy or a sugar-mama, having sex for housing / food / clothing, drugs, or having sex to get the money needed to survive) and allies of sex workers. Desiree Alliance is committed to support for representation and inclusiveness of people from varied backgrounds including different cultural, racial, economic, age, size/figure, sexual orientation and gender identities. People from groups that have often been marginalized from organizing for sex worker rights-such as people of color, immigrants, gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans-people, differently- abled/disabled people, senior citizens and youth/young adults-are eligible to apply for scholarships to attend.
