<div>My name is Andi (the one on the right side of the picture). I quite loathe pictures of me (taken or shown), but I love my BFF Kerry Porth enough to put my own discomfort about that aside.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you're seeing this, chances are you know &amp; love Kerry Porth too. You know her as a tireless activist, writer &amp; one of BC's very best co-conspirators for social change, renowned for her academic expertise, her wry AF humour, &amp; the humility she brings about her own lived experiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You know her for 20 years of working in Vancouver's trenches of Inclusive feminism, sex worker rights, drug user rights, trans rights - <em>human rights. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You know her for her extensive work in public education, research, policy change, systemic advocacy... from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AxEdoxiNl0&amp;t=140s" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">lecture podiums</a> to <a href="https://www.straight.com/files/v3/styles/gs_large/public/images/17/07/sex_workers_2.jpg?itok=1_uxS88U" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">leading the annual parade of red umbrellas</a> through the streets or <a href="https://www.thevolcano.org/2013/10/08/bedfordchallenge/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">testifying in a charter challenge</a> in Canada's Supreme Court.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From grassroots committees to board rooms, to <a href="https://theconversation.com/sex-worker-rights-hysteria-surveillance-and-threats-to-fundamental-freedoms-120943" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">print media</a>, <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-commons-30936071/episode/ep5-sex-work-in-canada-100846612/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">podcast interviews</a>, <a href="https://www.straight.com/news/1026066/kerry-porth-why-feminism-must-include-fight-sex-workers-rights#" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">guest editorials</a> &amp; even <a href="https://anunusualacademic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IFJP-fin.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">comics</a>, you know Kerry has been there- &amp; she still is, at <a href="https://www.pivotlegal.org/kerry_porth" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pivot</a> &amp; <a href="https://livingincommunity.ca/our-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Living in Community</a> .
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Kerry is just my BFF - we met as activists over 20 years ago, but bonded over our respective geeky predispositions, word-nerdery, working poverty, mommyhood &amp; other bestie-grade silliness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether you can personally appreciate string theory or punning in the Queen's English or not, if you ever met or worked with or listened to her I know you love Kerry as much as I do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This week, two days before her 60th birthday, Kerry was diagnosed with bile duct cancer. This is a rare form of cancer. In the coming weeks, she'll need extensive medical exams &amp; minimally one major surgery. This means unexpected time off work, a sizeable dent in her income &amp; increased situational precarities none of us want for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>She's always been there for us, so let's all pony up &amp; give Kerry some much deserved financial peace of mind while she moves through this incredibly stressful medical situation. Any &amp; all amounts - one time, bi-weekly or monthly - will help greatly. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thanks so much for helping our dear friend &amp; colleague Kerry get through this!!
</div>
