Earlier this month, leaders within the Adult Film Industry acknowledged its unfair, historical issues with racism, including disparate wages based on ethnicity, and began the process of formulating strategies to correct these issues. The BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color) Adult Industry Collective (https://www.bipoc-collective.org) was formed to answer this call, with the belief that all marginalized communities must be included at the table, in all discussions, when making decisions surrounding repairing harm against impacted communities. The BIPOC Adult Industry Collective is a group of performers, directors, and producers, spanning a range of jobs within the consensual and commercial sex trades, who are dedicated to working towards bringing changes in order to make the adult industry a safe space for all to work, explore, and thrive, regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Moving forward, the BIPOC-AIC requests the following:
Additional ways in which this should proceed:
BIPOC-AIC further envisions the following changes:
BIPOC-AIC is additionally calling for a complete reform of Booking Agents’ & Talent Managers’ business practices:
BIPOC-AIC requests an increased presence of BIPOC and LGBTQIA representation in nominations, on stage, and on red carpets at awards shows.
We at BIPOC-AIC are so happy with the call for a #pornstrike from ally performers, who stand in solidarity with us and want to see an end to racism and sexual violence on set. We are in early talks to form a mutual aid fund, to help performers who cannot risk striking due to financial hardship, and will update as this moves forward. We stand by our allies and we are hosting an "On-Camera Consent Negotiation” training, taught by King Noire, of Royal Fetish Films, and Wolf Hudson. The workshop is structured for male-identified performers, along with directors and producers, regardless of race, to address consent issues in the industry. A formal invitation to this free / donation-based workshop will follow in the coming weeks. Thank you to our allies, friends, and fans who support our efforts to end racism and sexual violence in our industry. In working together, we can create a healthier working environment which ultimately produces a more profitable bottom line. In closing, BIPOC-AIC urges both industry members, as well as the public, to sign our petition at https://campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/end-racism-and-wage-discrimination-in-porn?share=169f4ea8-1933-415d-b4dd-5004521ba57a&source=copy_email&utm_source=copy_email, to tell producers and distributors of adult media you support our efforts, and do not want, nor need, racist themes in your porn to get off. BIPOC-AIC will be releasing a video PSA shortly.
