Join us in a powerful call for safety, rights, and respect for s*x workers.

The red umbrella is a global symbol of s*x worker rights, representing resistance to stigma, criminalization, and violence. This march is about visibility, solidarity, and demanding real change. Bring your voice, your friends, and your energy. Make a sign, bring a red umbrella, and show up in solidarity. Whether you’re part of the community or standing in support, your presence matters. Together, we can challenge stigma, uplift s*x worker voices, and push for safer, more inclusive communities.
