Project Priceless is a collective of homeless prostituted women in Worcester, MA, and they are near and dear to our heart - one of our Editorial Team members, Sathi, is on their executive board. Hearing about how resilient these women are and the amazing things they’ve accomplished, like the RMVillage Encampment, bravely confronting their City Hall, and even freeing one of their members from jail, pushes us to work harder on Total Woman Victory to spread the word about the realities of prostitution.
Project Priceless actually formed after the closure of the last women’s-only shelter in the whole city of Worcester, Massachusetts. This closure displaced women and sent them back to the vulnerability of living and selling sex on the streets. Now, these women have taken it upon themselves to start a new, cooperatively-owned women’s shelter - A Home of Our Own - run by women and for women. They have found the perfect building to begin this new mission, and they are asking for $25,000 to make it a reality.
We are asking our radical feminist sisters to join us in backing this amazing project. We understand that the culture of liberal feminism as well as rising conservatism has pushed many of us to gather only in the far corners of the Internet, so while it’s not exactly feasible for us to all meet in Massachusetts, it’s entirely possible for us to back this radical, pro-woman, anti-prostitution initiative with our money and by drumming up excitement for it across social media.
Total Woman Victory asks you to join us next weekend to bring attention and funding to A Home of Our Own. We will be posting 3 different coloring sheets for people to complete and post on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Tumblr, Bluesky, etc., with the hashtag #AHomeOfOurOwn and a link to Project Priceless’s donation page: givebutter.com/utgnFa
On May 24th, we will be hosting a Twitter Space where we can talk about A Home of Our Own, Project Priceless, and Total Woman Victory, as well as play games while we finish our coloring pages (we'll announce the starting time soon!) We’ll also be reposting the completed sheets on our Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, and keeping you updated with a chart showing how much funding we’ve gathered for the shelter.
If we work together to flood social media with information about this initiative, we can help Project Priceless do something really amazing and necessary for the women of their city.
