<div>Emergency Support for At-Risk Sex Workers in Need of Food &amp; Shelter The Queer Sex Workers Initiative for Refugees (QSWIR) is raising urgent funds to provide life-saving support for our most vulnerable members - sex workers who are facing extreme hardship, violence, and homelessness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many in our community are struggling with two urgent needs:
</div>
<div>1. Food supplies - to ensure that sex workers in crisis, especially those without income or safe work opportunities, can meet their basic nutritional needs.
</div>
<div>2. Shelter rent - to help members who have faced violence or are currently at risk secure safe housing. This includes survivors who have nowhere to stay at the moment and urgently need a safe place to recover and rebuild their lives.
</div>
<div>Every contribution will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>- Purchasing and distributing essential food packages.
</div>
<div>- Covering short-term rental costs for safe shelter.
</div>
<div>- Providing immediate relief to those in crisis, prioritizing safety and dignity.
</div>
<div>Your support can mean the difference between safety and danger, hunger and nourishment, despair and hope. Together, we can make sure that no one in our community is left without food or a roof over their head during their most difficult moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate today and share this campaign to help us protect and care for those most in need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>YAS Work, a registered non-profit in the United States is assisting us in raising these funds.

However, now as the soon to be new tenant of the apt, I have to come up with the security deposit and two months rent as any new tenant would.  <br />.    That is the emergency !!!  Since being out of work due to covid, I barely have enough money to eat after paying the new rent let alone coming up with an additional  3 months to keep the apt.   If I can not come up with the three months totaling €2580, then the apt will have to go back on the market after the 15th of this month when the lease expires.   I will be basically be homeless both here in Germany and In the U.S. because I gave up my apt there to move to Berlin.<br />     I have never been in a position where I could not do for myself.  I'm a firm believer that you should always work to take care of your financial responsibilities and obligations.  However, like many others in the entertainment industry,  there just isn't any work out there until many of the establishments reopen.  <br />     This brings me to why I am creating this GoFundMe page.  It is said that, "You have not, because you ask not!"  I am humbly reaching out today to all of my family, friends, and wonderful supporting fans to help me to raise €2580 in order to keep and stay in my apt while living abroad here in Germany.  If you can find it in your heart to donate even a dollar, your contribution will be greatly appreciated.   Thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you for your support .<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />Tischa_The Tigress_Thomas<br /><br /><br />.

THE BSWC-BERLIN

<div>Hello everyone! Donations have paused! We would love for you all to continue to share and donate when you can. You can donate more than once AND you can share as many times as needed so we can exceed our goals.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There are some great updates available. During our cultural weekend, our very own Angel Maxine will have her album release listening party at the cafe. So stop by for our opening weekend listen, buy a poster, eat some cake and get to know us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Remember our doors are open early so that folks can learn about what the cafe is doing and how we plan to continue the legacy of Aequa for our time here. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Follow our pages for the event link. We are looking forward to seeing you next month!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After years of searching, waiting, hoping—and organizing in borrowed rooms, shared offices, and online—the <strong>Black S Worker Collective (BSWC-Berlin)</strong> is thrilled to announce that we are taking over<strong> Aequa's E13 in Berlin</strong> this fall!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This new space, OUR space. Will be aptly named The <strong>Ashawo Cafe!</strong>
</div>
<div>A space for everyone across &amp; connected to the Black diaspora. Pushing back against oppression, by Black S Workers.
</div>
<div>A place for organizing, healing, creating, and holding each other through the ongoing crises impacting our communities.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For far too long, we’ve made miracles happen without a space of our own. Now we finally have the chance to root ourselves in a homebase that will serve our collective and broader community for years to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we can’t do this without you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re launching this fundraiser to raise
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$35,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>to cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>6–12 months of rent (to give us financial breathing room at <strong>1050 euro per month)</strong>
</li>
<li>Small renovations and accessibility updates
</li>
<li>Purchasing equipment left by previous renters desks, kitchen tools, lighting, etc.)<strong> Our biggest cost at 14,000 </strong>
</li>
<li>Utility bills + ongoing operational needs<strong> (around 500 euro per month)</strong>
</li>
<li>Modest stipends for 1–2 community members helping run the space and programs <strong>(500-700 euro per month, per person)</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>All donations will go directly into the BSWC bank account and will be accounted for transparently.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will allow us to focus on programming, build up sustainable revenue through memberships and community events, and keep the space running while we continue to secure long-term funding.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Gratitude &amp; Solidarity</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to deeply thank our <strong> funding partner Mama Cash</strong>, whose commitment to grassroots, Black-led organizing has never wavered—especially during this era of budget cuts and the closure of so many feminist spaces across Europe.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We also thank <strong>David and Heidi</strong> for riding with us through thick and thin, making it possible for us to even dream of a space like this, let alone begin building it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What This Space Will Offer</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Membership based co-working and coffee cafe
</li>
<li>A home for the Black Sex Worker Library
</li>
<li>A hub for workshops, mutual aid, small art residencies, health outreach, and small performances
</li>
<li>Meeting space for local and private groups/orgs/businesses
</li>
<li>Low-cost events, dinners, and gatherings
</li>
<li>A place to build safety, joy, and our own damn future
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Now?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because we’ve waited long enough.
</div>
<div>Because we deserve more than survival.
</div>
<div>Because Black Sex Workers are architects of culture, care, and resistance—and we need space to thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation—<strong>no matter the size</strong>—helps us build something lasting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us open the doors to the Ashawo Cafe in Sept of 2025!
</div>
<div>Help us stay open.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and deep thanks,
</div>
<div><strong>The Black Sex Worker Collective</strong>
