With a decade of experience in sex worker movements, I regularly partner with organizers and academics on policy advocacy and reform, participatory action research, organizational development, and mutual aid.
I conducted a needs assessment study of the Minneapolis stripping industry with fellow members of Sex Workers Outreach Project-Minneapolis and Dr. Eric Sprankle (Minnesota State University). Drawing from this study, I worked with my team to lead a successful campaign to revise the city of Minneapolis’s adult entertainment ordinance.
The result was a groundbreaking ordinance that now addresses occupational health and safety issues and economic exploitation of workers in the stripping industry.
I have consulted with diverse governmental and non-governmental organizations, including the Minnesota Department of Health, in order to improve practices and policies related to sex work, trafficking, and sexual health and justice matters.
