SWOP Behind Bars provides legal and practical support for incarcerated sex workers and survivors of trafficking, sexual assault, intimate partner violence and forced criminality.

The authoress is a "labor columnist" at Teen Vogue.

If that doesn't tell how how thoroughly Marxism has infiltrated our culture, nothing will.

I expect that sex workers want:

1. Free kneepads with the KH logo

I’ve always thought if that was to exist, it may as well be unionized. Make sure the ‘vendors’ are healthy, at least in a physical sense. Provide some kind of salary so to lessen the desperation and temptation to steal from their clients.

They just want a piece of the action.

I think they are really jealous, cause we all know how easy it is to get screwed by politicians.
