In case you missed it, the ACLU has a petition for payment processors like Mastercard and Visa to stop discriminating against sex workers and content producers. Read it, sign it, please!
https://action.aclu.org/petition/mastercard-sex-work-work-end-your-unjust-policy
Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

I've just signed this. I hope everyone does. Credit card companies bowing to the administration is shameful. The corporations are bigger than the government. They've behaved that way for ages. Why are they capitulating now?

@qblueheart There was one of these that got a lot of signatures after Gumroad put in its policy, and it went nowhere. Not saying it's not good to continue to put pressure, but I am saying let's not hold our breath that anything will come of it, especially in our current environment.

@qblueheart this asks for a zip code, but not a country, is this a us-only petition?

@yukijoou @qblueheart

Yep.

"ACLU is a nationwide organization that defends and preserves the individual rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution and the laws of the United States." The acronym stands for American Civil Liberties Union.

The discrimination by US-based payment process affects people internationally, but ACLU can only represents people in the US.

@qblueheart given this affects people internationally, having a petition only run in the U.S. is pretty meh.
