YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO THE CITY

But it’s hard to participate fully in public life when there’s nowhere to use the bathroom. You shouldn’t have to pay to take care of your basic needs!

We are working on a list of bathroom codes, which you’ll find below. Send us more, and let us know if any here are out of date. This list is New York City-centric, because that’s where we live and piss, but we’ll happily post codes from other locales. Send codes to facilitymag@gmail.com.



We realize that some of us are more likely to be harassed or policed for using these codes — or for simply existing in public. Please be cautious. Look out for yourself, and for each other.



Now piss off!
