We're a group of sex workers, clients, taxpayers, freedom lovers, and people from all walks of life working together to stop the immoral, wasteful, and futile practice of arresting and prosecuting consensual sexual acts.

From the founder: Upon graduation, I promised myself I would never wear a suit, nor would I work in an office. Fate threw me suited up into an office for seven years. This was my tour of duty in the illusory world of hierarchical control, greed, fear and systemic hypnosis. I was living a half-life, and no-one was more aware of this fact than I was. There were, of course, moments of stunning humanity in my time in “the office” working as a financial adviser and all round salesman for the corpor …

Our Third Act is a social movement, by and for older adults, powered by social enterprise. It is education and mutual support in action, as we create healthy and fulfilling lives as we age. American culture is obsessed with youth, and is stuck in an outdated paradigm of aging, so as we age we’re seen as “over the hill”, useless, decrepit and ugly. And, the societal systems for aging are far worse than negative social attitudes. Our financial structures, housing, and healthcare are completely dys …
