LOS ANGELES—Sara Jay offered assistance to The Ishtar Collective, a sex-worker-and-survivor-led, Vermont-based organization that works in the regional Northeast, with shoes, clothes, and products from her self-care brand Bare Self Care/ Sara Jay CBD for distribution to those in need.
The Ishtar Collective works to support sex workers to have a "seat at the table" and be respected members of the communities they live in. Along with other sex worker and survivor-led organizations, the Ishtar Collective has hosted healthcare professionals, lifelong learners, graduate students, social service workers, service industry professionals, local LGBTQ+ members, survivors of violence, and all forms of sex workers for intensive workshops. The organization also features a community garden and "food justice program" so that those in need can not only put food on the table but also learn the values of land stewardship. More information can be found here.
Jay noted, "I am profoundly honored to support such a worthy cause with anything I can do to support them. Sex workers are sadly all too often still subjected to exploitation, trafficking, and violence. I hope, in addition to donations, I can shine a light on Ishtar, who is doing something positive for change."
