Who should apply: Speak Up! is for current and former sex workers only. We want to support people who have an interest in media but don’t necessarily have experience - so if you’re ready to tackle media but don’t know the difference between an op-ed and a letter to the editor, please apply. More experienced media mavens are encouraged to apply as well, but media experience is NOT a prerequisite.

We are unable to defray travel costs beyond the $50 stipend that we’re offering for attending the workshop, but if you are planning to travel to NYC for the workshop from a distance we are able to offer free housing to a small number of people.

We are planning on future workshops in other cities, so if this seems like it would be good for your community, please get in touch!
