PACE Society Sex Worker Relief Fund
"If you are a sex worker who has been negatively impacted by COVID-19 and reside in Metro Vancouver, we welcome your application for funds. We can provide financial relief in increments of $100-200 based on need and availability of funds. While all sex workers in need will be considered, we prioritize distributing funds to people of colour, Indigenous people, transgender individuals, and members of other marginalized communities. Please honestly self-identify with any marginalized communities you are a part of so that we can distribute funds appropriately. We are able to distribute funds by direct transfer into Vancity bank accounts, e-transfer, and in some limited cases, cash." -from website
