Sex Workers on Why Decriminalization
Sex work is work and we must protect sex workers by decriminalizing their work. We talk to Jessica Raven, steering committee member for Decrim NY, along with Tracy and Maya, sex workers who are organizing within the sex trade. This effort is targeting Albany now, but pushing further not just for decriminalization of sex work, but decarceration of sex workers who are already in jail, vacating the sentences of people who have already been prosecuted and de-stigmatizing sex work.
