CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Free Speech Coalition, the trade and advocacy association for the adult industry, has launched an OnlyFans account to better reach the new generation of creators. The account, @freespeechcoalition, will provide subscribers with updates on the battle defending sexual expression and sex worker rights, as well as ways to help fund the fight.
“FSC is meeting our community where they are,” says Alison Boden, executive director of Free Speech Coalition. “The account is a way for us to reach creators who might not have an official connection with the adult industry, but still need the information and resources to keep themselves safe and defend their rights.”
Prior to launching an OnlyFans page, FSC has worked with other fan platforms to raise money and awareness. A pioneering project with JustFor.Fans allowed creators to designate FSC for the platform’s own charitable donations, and content from FSC has been incorporated into FanCentro’s Centro U.
The FSC OnlyFans subscription rate is $5 a month. Funds raised go to providing educational and business resources for those new to the industry and making sure the voices of adult creators and businesses are heard in legislators, courts and boardrooms.
Free Speech Coalition was founded in 1991 as a legal defense fund for adult producers. In its 30-year history, the organization has won numerous battles on behalf of adult producers, including at the US Supreme Court. FSC fostered the development of the acclaimed industry testing system, promoted safety and ethics within the industry, and is an omnipresent voice in defense of adult creators’ rights in the press.
“We’re at a crucial juncture in our history,” says Boden. “The adult industry is facing an unprecedented assault on our rights and our community’s right to survive. If we’re going to successfully fight back this wave of censorship, if we’re going to stand up to the growing tide of banking discrimination and deplatforming, we need to activate the entire creator community. OnlyFans might seem an unconventional place for organizing, but battles aren’t won by taking the conventional route.”
