NON-PROFIT

Co-founder of The Common House, a collectively managed space for activist groups, projects and community events in East London. The Common House is an experiment in building a commons—a resource that is organized and structured by our collective activity as a community, and not by money or property rights. This allows us to think about how to reproduce what we need and manage resources outside of the regimes of the state and capital. The commons are a pre-condition for, and an experiment in, building struggles capable of winning and bringing about the world that we want: one that is collectively owned and decided.

We regard the ability to communicate as a fundamental tool for migrants and sex workers who are collaborating to advocate for safer conditions and build social justice movements.
Co-founder of Radio AvA, an on-air community space broadcasting the voices of sex workers and their allies in order to express, explore and share their experiences, improve safety and outreach, reflect, critique and celebrate!
