OUR APPROACH

  • Society’s discomfort with expressions of sexuality is a symptom of moral tyranny. We threaten this tyranny through visibility, mutual aid, performance, and direct action.

  • We create models for engagement and personal liberation that are accessible regardless of economic status, ability, nationality, race, social capital, or political power. Liberation cannot belong only to those with resources, credentials, or institutional permission.

  • We reject the monopoly of the elite over public meaning, public opinion, and political imagination. The power to influence, provoke, and transform culture belongs to the people.

  • We value the lives, voices, and knowledge of those most impacted by sexual oppression. We are intentional in our approach and recognize that a diversity of tactics is essential to every movement.

  • We are accountable to ourselves and our comrades. We protect and nurture the trust between ourselves and our collaborators. We invite critique, dialogue, and transformation.

  • We confront, disrupt, and dismantle the structures that benefit from sexual oppression.

  • All public space is a platform for the people to dissent, celebrate, and affirm. We do not seek permission to speak truth in public.

  • There is no separation between spectator and participant. We are all participants.
