Oregon officials will make nearly $600,000 in federal funding available to local strippers and sex workers of color who have lost income because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Oregonian reported.
The grant will provide up to $1,600 for rent, $500 for utilities and $150 for Internet services to 75 people. An additional 200 applicants will receive a mail-in coronavirus test and a test for sexually transmitted infections, as well as health products including face masks, hand sanitizer and pulse oximeters.
Haymarket Pole Collective, a Portland-based organization that advocates for Black and Indigenous adult-entertainment workers, will administer the grant to people who earn money using their or other peoples sexuality to financially assist themselves, Cat Hollis, Haymarkets founder, told the Oregonian. She said Black, Indigenous and transgender applicants, as well as those who are homeless or live with minor dependents, will receive priority.

“local strippers and sex workers of color “
So white strippers and whores were not affected?
Or is this all strippers, regardless of color, and just black whores?

$600,000. So if there are 600 prostitutes and strippers total, the most each could get is $1000. And Im sure theres a lot more than that. And my bet is that at least half gets skimmed off the top as graft. A Federal grant. Biden wants to piss away another 2 trillion down this rathole on COVID relief. This economic house of cards cannot be sustained.

She said Black, Indigenous and transgender applicants, as well as those who are homeless or live with minor dependents, will receive priority.Not a lawyer but seems to me that since this is FEDERAL money they can't specify who the money goes to.
