Description

Sex work is a broad umbrella that encompasses various forms of labor. Similar to workers in other fields who push for unionization, sex workers often experience unsafe situations, like overpolicing and physical violence. However, sex workers have long been excluded from unions because of the stigma attached to their line of work.

Reset checks in with activists who are working to change the paradigm.

GUESTS: Rebelle Cunt, a writer, activist, and founder and director of Heaux History, a multimedia archive that explores the history of Black, Brown and Indigenous sex workers and erotic labor
Audrey Winn, trial attorney at the U.S. Department of Labor
