NEW YORK — CockyBoys is a sponsor of the Bridges4Life sex workers‘ rights campaign „Sex Work is Work,“ as well as a fundraiser tonight that celebrates the launch of „Bridges4Life: An Audio Installation“ featuring voices from New York’s trans and gender nonconforming sex worker community.
„This exhibit blends voices, thoughts and experiences into a moving portrait of survival, solidarity and hope,“ noted a rep. „Tonight’s event will celebrate, support and uplift trans sex workers, and the much-needed and necessary work of Bridges4Life. The evening will include performances, food and an open bar for premium ticket holders.“
When director and CockyBoys co-founder Jake Jaxson learned about Bridges4Life, and its founder Tahtianna, he felt compelled to use the studio’s platform to „raise awareness and amplify their voices.“
„It’s a travesty what is happening to trans sex workers today and I want to use our voices to help bring attention to their struggle, now more than ever,“ he added.
A Bridges4Life rep noted that „Black trans women are killed at disproportionate rates because of the intersections of racism, transphobia, sexism, biphobia and homophobia.
