The Support Ho(s)e Collective is a small Leftist formation of queer and trans* sex workers (current and former) and their trusted co-conspirators based in the Midwest, South, and Northeast. They work to build radical community for all sex workers through political education and public agitation. They also coordinated the Justice for Alisha Walker Defense Campaign. They have been making zines and organizing together for over eight years! They listen, learn from and center the lived experiences and the experiences of the broader sex working community, as they work toward workers’ rights, ending stigma, decriminalizing all survival, and building spaces for radicalization and political action. Find them online: sxhxcollective.org

Join us for the inaugural South Side Zine Fest at 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26 at the Richard J. Daley Branch of the Chicago Public Library, 3400 S. Halsted St. in Bridgeport. Free!
