The Free Speech Coalition PASS network has released an updated COVID-19 FAQ –
https://www.freespeechcoalition.com/blog/2020/06/22/updated-faq-for-fsc-pass/

On multiple occasions the leader of the Free Speech Coalition (Michelle LeBlanc) has made it clear that it is not safe to test outside of their network. Talent Testing Services IS NO LONGER a part of the PASS approved network of clinics.

As of current an entity known as “Kelli Roberts” who is linked to the criminally charged sex trafficking group known as The Luxury Companion is consistently attempting to sway active talent to test OUTSIDE of the Free Speech Coalition PASS network of clinics – for what reasons as to why are unclear – but what is clear is that anything “Kelli Roberts” suggests is a BAD IDEA.

The FSC’s Michelle LeBlanc and James Bartholet discuss Coronavirus impact upon the adult industry

This is a MUST LISTEN for all active adult industry performers (pornstars). On May 13 of 2020 James Bartholet (of Inside the Industry on LA talk radio) conducted an extensive, informative and insightful interview with the executive director of the Free Speech Coalition Michelle LeBlanc.

In the interview Michelle clarifies information revolving around the adult content production halt, why its imperative for adult performers to abide by the Coronavirus mandates in their areas (in regards to social distancing, restraining from travel, etc) and how the FSC Covid-19 Task Force is working diligently to create a plan for the industry to safely reopen in time.

 

An educational & insightful interview with adult actress & performer advocate Lasha Lane (part 1)

Alexandra Mayers conducts an insightful and educational interview with adult actress and performer advocate Lasha Lane in regards to a plethora of issues today’s adult performers face (especially in regards to the Free Speech Coalition’s PASS testing network).

This is a 2 part interview.

In this video (part 1), Lasha specifically addresses her concerns about the affordability of the STD tests offered by the FSC’s PASS system testing clinics. Lasha questions whether or not the high cost could be hindering performers from a lower financial bracket (performers who are often People Of Color) from having the opportunity to work in the industry consistently (or even at all).

Lasha also notes that upon meeting (and speaking with) the current spokesperson of Talent Health Labs (Kiki D’Aire), her questions and concerns were not properly answered. One of Lasha’s primary questions revolves around how additional affordable STD testing clinics could become a part of the FSC controlled PASS network.

As of current Lasha Lane is hoping the Free Speech Coalition leadership will offer solid answers, so that in time, the adult industry can effectively raise it’s current level of inclusiveness.
