LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Sex worker advocacy group SWAID Las Vegas is seeking generous contributions this holiday season, to help the organization “provide vital aid to sex workers in need.” SWAID has official 501(c)(3) non-profit status, which means donations to the organization are tax deductible.
“You can help make the holiday season better for at-risk sex workers with your tax-deductible donation to SWAID,” said Codi Vore, an adult industry performer and one of SWAID’s founders. “The donations we receive make a significant impact in the lives of sex workers by allowing us to provide cash grants to help with bills and groceries, as well as provide harm reduction supplies and vital aid like contraceptives.”
Additional SWAID founders include adult performers Summer Hart, Xander Corvus, Queen Ava, Tegan Trex and Div.
In their announcement, SWAID noted that it is “run entirely by sex workers, which sets it apart from other organizations with a lesser understanding of the community’s needs.” SWAID said their primary goal “consists of getting direct financial aid out as quickly and compassionately as possible,” adding that “100% of contribution funds go straight to sex workers who need them.”
As the organization continues to expand, new sponsors and contributors are “important to help meet the demand for assistance,” SWAID added.
“The holidays have always been about giving,” Vore said. “We are excited to work with any companies or individuals with an interest in keeping sex workers fed, safe, and able to provide for themselves and their families, both over the holidays and beyond.”
Individuals who want to donate to SWAID Las Vegas can do so through the contribute page on the SWAID website. Companies interested in assisting the organization in an ongoing way should email swaidvegas@protonmail.com.
