The PROS Network (Providers and Resources Offering Services to Sex Workers) is a coalition of sex workers, organizers, direct service providers, advocates, and media makers. We exist to collaborate on programs and campaigns around sex work-related issues in the New York metropolitan area. We work with people of all genders who, by choice, circumstance, or coercion, engage in sexual activities for money, food, shelter, clothing, drugs, or other survival needs. Grounded in principles of social justice and human rights, the PROS Network embraces a non-judgmental, harm reduction approach. Members include the Anti-Violence Project, CitiWide Harm Reduction, FROST’D, Lower East Side Harm Reduction Center, New York Harm Reduction Educators, Peter Cicchino Youth Project, Positive Health Project, $pread Magazine, Safe Space, Sex Workers Project, Streetwork Project, SWANK (Sex Workers Action New York), SWOP-NY (Sex Workers Outreach Project), Washington Heights CORNER Project, and more!
