Migrant Sex Workers Against Fascism: Lessons from 150 Years of Resistance
Friday July 4, 2025 3:00pm - 4:30pm CDT
TBA

But their lives and struggles also offer us a blueprint for resisting surveillance, criminalization and the “good immigrant” vs “bad immigrant” division. Instead they inspire us to transform fear and uncertainty into creativity, power, empathy and noncompliance.
