LOS ANGELES The four years of the Donald Trump presidency were an era of increased activism by sex workers, as the sex industry faced an increasing crackdown both at the federal and state levels a crackdown that culminated in the COVID-19 pandemic which saw sex workers largely excluded from economic relief packages, despite losing most or all of their income.
The FOSTA/SESTA law, attacks on internet freedom, and a number of state-level moves to restrict adult content were also among the newly resurgent attacks on sex worker rights, and the adult industry overall.
But the political activism of sex workers is not a recent phenomenon. In fact, it stretches back more than 100 years and this week marked the 103rd anniversary of the first recorded public protest march organized and carried out by sex workers.
