original description

In mid July, sex workers and their allies met up at the Desiree Alliance conference in Chicago to discuss issues affecting people who work in the sex industry. I presented on sex workers and the media and put the media stuff into practice by making a video for Naked City TV about sex workers rights activists.In this episode of the show, I interview sex worker rights activists from three generations about their experiences in the movement, what's changed, and what the movements' issues are for the future.The women and organizations featured in this video areMargo St. James - a sex worker who was one of the earliest activists of the modern sex worker rights' movement in the United States. St. James Infirmary - the first occupational safety and health clinic for sex workers run by and for sex workers. Operating in San Francisco since 1999.Robyn Few - former sex worker and founder of the national Sex Workers Outreach ProjectSerpentLibertine - sex worker, activist, blogger and producer of the Red Light District Chicago audio and video podcasts.--Audacia Ray
