Sex Work Awareness co-founder Audacia Ray will be joined by Speak Up alumna Megan Andelloux and $pread editor Monica Shores in a panel called “Sex Workers, Resistance, and the Media” Our panel is from 10:30 am-noon.

Here is the panel description:

Sex workers are frequently maligned and misrepresented in the mainstream media, where stories are most often about scandals, busts, violence, health and safety risks, exploitation, legislation, and moral judgment. This panel of present and former sex workers who are activists and media makers will address the ways we are represented in mainstream media and what sex workers and their allies can do to challenge and remake the way we are perceived. We will present media projects created by sex workers and discuss challenges encountered in the process of distribution and building an audience for our work. The workshop will conclude with making a short PSA video about how sex workers and allies can work together.
