We are sorry to inform the community that after 3+ years, SWOP Brooklyn has decided to disband and transition our resources to other community organizations. As of the release of this statement, SWOP Brooklyn has dissolved and is no longer operating or providing many of the services we have come to be known for.
We have distributed hundreds of thousands of dollars of emergency aid to the community; done a weekly street outreach; hosted a Monkeypox vaccine clinic; acted as a resource hub for s*x worker-friendly healthcare, mental health, and aid resources; and hosted numerous events, including community hangouts, fundraisers, and workshops/skill shares.
We loved organizing for these past few years, and we tried our best to keep it running, but it wasn’t feasible to keep it going any longer. We hope the community will be able to use the existing organizations and channel their money/time/energy towards those other community resources. Please check out our website (swopbrooklyn.org) for organizations you can look to for support in the future.
