BIPOC Adult Industry Collective

Community Agreement & Values

I love these values!!!!!!

⦁ Anti-blackness: We do not tolerate any anti-blackness, colorism. Black, Indigenous, and People of Color come in all shades and we celebrate them all.

⦁ Centering of Black & Brown Voices: As BIPOC  people often experience tokenism and are overlooked in public and private spaces, we are committed to centering those voices in our work.

⦁ Misogynoir: We acknowledge ways in which the intersection of anti-blackness and sexism Black women experience in private and public impacts their well-being. Our duty is to provide a space in which Black women can feel safe from this behavior.  Transmisogyny will not be tolerated, period.

⦁ Fatphobia: We welcome fat folks and fatness without hesitation. We will not judge one another based on unrealistic, European standards of commercial beauty. 

⦁ Transphobia: We use pronouns that people have asked us to use. We accept all trans-, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and two-spirited people however they define themselves. 

⦁ Xenophobia: We do not judge each other based on place, space, country, immigration status, or expression of culture.

⦁ Homophobia and Biphobia: We acknowledge that sexuality is a spectrum. We are inclusive of all forms of queerness and celebrate everyone regardless of who they fuck.

⦁ Sexism: We do not discriminate based on how one expresses their gender or sex. Stereotyping based on gender or sex has no space in a space dedicated to community organizing.

⦁ Whorephobia: We believe all sex workers are created equal and reject any false hierarchy based on the criminalization of their work and where they ply their trade.

⦁ Ableism: We accept and embrace all body and intellectual contributions to this space. We celebrate differences.

⦁ Poor shaming: We know that one’s contribution to the capitalist monetary system of the U.S. is not an indication of one’s worth. We do not, in practice or in rhetoric, shame or chastise anyone because of the ways they are forced to partake and/or contribute to this construct, or the ways they are disenfranchised by them. 

⦁ Dependent status: We acknowledge that Black folks take care of each other. We celebrate the fact that members of our extended community and our duties to take care of each other does not mean we have more or less to contribute to the Collective. We make space for one another to put caregiving over agenda, always.

⦁ Ageism: We acknowledge that age and phase of life do not overdetermine one’s capability or ability to contribute to the decolonizing porn. Wisdom comes from youth and elders alike and will always be respected as such.

⦁ Centering Black & Brown Voices: As BIPOC  people often experience tokenism and are overlooked in public and private spaces, we are committed to centering those voices in our work. We are committed to working with BIPOC whenever possible.

⦁ Financial Empowerment: We believe sex is work and the key to financial empowerment is putting money directly into the hands of sex work. In cultivating our initiatives we will always ask ourselves, “will this put more money directly into the hands of sex workers?” “Will we make Sex Workers safe by doing this work?” We will take a harm reduction approach to all work will do, meeting people where they are to provide them with what they need rather than what we think they need. When giving money directly to sex workers, we will not govern or dictate how the money must be used. We are here to help, that’s all.
