Red Canary Song is a grassroots collective of Migrant Massage Workers, Sex Workers, and Allies of Asian Diaspora, base building in Flushing, NYC and organizing transnationally.
Our Mission
Red Canary Song works within our shared communities of migrant massage workers and sex workers of Asian diaspora to provide mutual aid and connection to accessible resources; create peer-led cultural and art events; and advocate through oral history, multimedia work, and policy authorship in conjunction with directly impacted workers. Our framework includes migrant justice, labor rights, PIC abolitionism, and non-hierarchical values. We center coalition building with other BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, Trans GNC, and Disabled Sex Workers. We believe that full decriminalization of sex work is necessary for the safety and survival of massage workers and trafficking survivors.
Our Tenets
No more police raids and deportations. Policing is not social work. Arrest and sentencing, even with diversion programming, is not a humane way to deliver social services.
Labor rights in our workplaces, regardless of immigration status: Freedom to openly assemble without fear, share resources, and collectively organize for better wages and working conditions
Nothing about us without us. Respect and dignified livelihood for all sex workers and migrant workers.
