This cool cat supports the Chicago Recovery Alliance! [CRA started harm reduction outreach in January of 1992 and, through respectful collaboration with people injecting, has grown to become one of the larger harm reduction programs in the world].

This pussy is reading up on how to protect herself and practice safer sex work. You should too!

Practicing safer sex work isn't only about HIV and STI prevention — it's also about preventing violence and harassment, and knowing your rights. To learn more about how sex workers are helping to keep each other safe all over the world, check out this guide by NSWP (the Global Network of Sex Work Projects), Making Sex Work Safe: http://bit.ly/1PiH9ZZ
