I will never support Exodus Cry - even when Laila contacted me to offer support when a video of mine was put on PornHub, I declined because my values and morals simply do not align with that of EC. As a result, I will never support their campaign, TraffickingHub.
This does not mean I support PornHub.

Exodus Cry are a hard right-wing religious fundamentalist group who advocate policies that harm sex workers. I cannot ignore the harm caused by these policies such as FOESTA/SESTA.
TraffickingHub is funded, and led by them.

If I think Exodus Cry will stop at just PornHub, I would be an idiot. Abolition, a policy which they support, kills sex workers. It prevents us seeking help for rape, it makes us vulnerable to being raped by the police.
Of course I support the removal of videos posted to porn sites without consent, and especially of children - it's disgusting. But I will never throw my support behind the campaign.

If you wish to defund the police, you can't support Exodus Cry - who want us locked up or rape us.
Me supporting Exodus Cry is like feminists supporting abortion - the two are incompatible.

You can not support sex workers but support organisations that harm us with the same hand. Supporting sex workers means supporting us against policies that kill us.
At the same time, you can not demand the support and respect of sex workers if you affiliate and promote such things.

I am a sex worker, and therefore, I would never advocate for abolition, and my allies wouldn't either.
These organisations aren't no joke - they don't care about dead hookers, they don't care about the damage the policies they promote cause. I mean, for christ's sake, they have a purity contract as part of their organisation.
Why are we quick to cancel and dishonour rapists, and rightly so, but not those who support policies that promote rape and murder of those in the sex industry?

I don't care how nice and supportive someone is, it doesn't mean they don't cause harm.
If Britain First came out and started doing a campaign to abolish poverty, I would still support abolishing poverty, but I wouldn't fucking support their campaign or Britain First.

You can support something without affiliating with fundamentalists.
