More than half (56%) of young men voters in the U.S. (ages 18-29) voted for Trump in 2024. This came as a surprise to a lot of people, especially as many young people are increasingly adopting liberal political views. So what happened, and what can we do about it?

Sexual justice is where sexuality meets social justice. It is about seeing the ways in which free sexual expression and sexual wellness are not accessible to all—and working toward a more sexually just world.

I was talking to a longtime friend today and she mentioned that, in the almost 15 years that we've been friends, she has never seen me so upset about a world event as I am about Gaza.

Zines are a great way to educate our communities and help move people to action.

Here are some free printable zine PDFs about Palestine. Feel free to print as many as you'd like and distribute them.

If you've ever seen a sexual anatomy diagram, I am willing to bet that it was based on a white person. As much as the sex-positive movement strives to combat oppression, it is still largely made up of middle class white people, and we aren't always as aware of intersectional oppression as we should be.

More than half of American Indian and Alaska Native women (56%) experience sexual assault. The vast majority (96%) are assaulted by a non-Native perpetrator. For centuries, colonizers / the US government have stripped Indigenous folks of power and resources — and continue to do so today. This disempowerment and exploitation makes Native folks especially vulnerable to sexual and relationship abuse (as well as poverty, health issues, pollution, and ongoing land insecurity).

In other words, the system is really fucked up and people are getting hurt. So, what can we do?

​An Interview with Gazan Sex Educator Mohammed Alkrunz

While I was living in Jerusalem and trying to find sexuality-related initiatives in the area (for this zine), I came across the website of an organization called the International Youth Alliance For Family Planning (IYAFP for short). They’re a youth-run (ages 15 to 30) nonprofit that advocates for sex ed and sexual rights around the world.

One of the first things I saw upon waking up this morning was a video of a keynote speech by the Women of Color Sexual Health Network (WoCSHN). They are currently at a conference that I am longingly following on social media called The Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit

Tonight’s Sex Positive Boston discussion was a brainstorming session about what we all can do (individually and/or collectively) in response to Orlando, the police killings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, targeted killings of police officers, other recent incidents of police brutality, and racism and oppression in general. We did our best to think creatively about how we can contribute to positive change in light of these dark circumstances.
