AdultMutualAid Launches – Bringing the Adult Community Together for Financial Aid
AdultMutualAid goes online, intending to connect sex workers seeking aid with financially advantaged creators
A new mutual aid project is coming to the adult industry. The concept was created by “Most Helpful Model of 2021” Nominee and CEO of Webcam Startup, Aerie Saunders, alongside “Sex Worker Advocate of 2021” Nominee, Robin LeFay. The project, dubbed “AdultMutualAid” allows sex workers to submit mutual aid requests which go to a pending queue for spam filtering before being posted to the list of mutual aid requests on-site.
AdultMutualAid allows performers to connect directly with causes that they support with no middle-man management of funds, ensuring that donators know they are supporting causes that they support directly and allowing all sex workers to voice their needs without worrying about an approval process. The goal of the project is to become a “hub of support” to connect financially advantaged adult workers with their peers seeking assistance instead of leaving sex workers at the mercy of being seen on social media by helpful members of the industry or by customers willing to assist.
The site also welcomes adult customers with extra income to browse the website and find workers to support. Links to preferred payment methods for beneficiaries will be included directly within their request for assistance which allows for streamlined donations.
Creator and ongoing manager of the platform, Aerie Saunders, says “There is a stark divide and difference in quality of living from performers in the top 1% and everybody else. When I have extra income and find myself looking for causes to support, it is always hard to root through social media and find performers that are struggling especially taking into consideration that some performers won’t post about financial hardships in order to maintain their brand. Giving performers a place dedicated to finding support and also allowing them to post anonymously is a step towards a better mutual aid system for the adult industry.”
