Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

CDSW strives to end the prohibition of consensual adult prostitution -- and improve the policies relating to other forms of sex work -- in the United States.

Activities or mission (Part I)

To end the prohibition of prostitution and improve the policies relating to other forms of sex work in the United States.

  • VERMONT LOBBYING: CDSW lobbied the Vermont government -- as well as the local governments of Burlington and Montpelier -- to change the state's and two cities' prostitution laws. In March 2022, fully 69% of Burlington voters passed a local referendum that removed offensive prostitution language from the city's ordinances. A couple months later, the Montpelier city council passed a similarly good bill. And then the state legislature enacted a law that permitted these two local measures to take effect. Three wins in Vermont in one year!

    Expenses $38,511

  • NEW YORK STATE LOBBYING: CDSW lobbied the New York government to change the state's prostitution laws, with an emphasis on passing "immunity" (also known as "Good Samaritan") legislation that seeks to protect sex workers from arrest if they or third parties contact the police to report crimes involving violence and/or theft directed at the sex workers.

    Expenses $33,012

  • RHODE ISLAND LOBBYING: CDSW lobbied the Rhode Island government to change a few of the state's prostitution statutes, setting the stage for a more muscular lobbying effort in 2023.

    Expenses $30,000

  • NEW HAMPSHIRE LOBBYING: CDSW lobbied the New Hampshire government to change the state's prostitution laws, with an emphasis on passing "expungement" legislation to clean the criminal records of sex-trafficking victims who had been convicted of prostitution crimes. This legislation was enacted into law in May 2022.

    Expenses $28,500 · Grants $6,000

  • MAINE LOBBYING: In the aftermath of Gov. Janet Mills (D) vetoing the "entrapment" bill we opposed in 2021, we started lobbying in Maine in 2022, with an emphasis on killing that bill if and when it's reintroduced in the legislature in early 2023.

    Expenses $2,500 · Grants $2,500

  • COALITION BUILDING: While in New England for various lobbying meetings and hearings, CDSW occasionally bought lunches or dinners with key players working on the perimeter of state government.

    Expenses $196

As filed on the 2022 return.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
