Erotic Service Providers Union
The Erotic Service Providers Union (ESPU) is by and for erotic service providers working to gain greater agency over our occupational, social, and economic lives.
ESPU was created from a belief that erotic service providers should be able to speak for themselves, organize around the conditions of their labor, and build collective power. The work is rooted in worker rights, solidarity, and the principle that people directly affected by workplace conditions and public policy should have a voice in shaping what comes next.
Through organizing, education, community connection, and engagement with organized labor, ESPU has worked to strengthen the position of erotic service providers as workers and to advance greater dignity, agency, safety, and economic power.
The organization’s history reflects years of worker-led action, public education, meetings, campaigns, events, and efforts to make the realities of erotic labor visible on workers’ own terms.

ESPU Merch
Wear the message. Support the work.
ESPU merchandise is one more way to make worker rights and organizing visible.
Pick up an ESPU shirt, wear it to an event, take it into your community, or give one to someone who believes that erotic service providers deserve dignity, agency, and a voice in the conditions of their labor.
Every shirt carries the ESPU name into the world and helps keep the message visible:
Sex work is work. Workers have the right to organize.
