This year, we lost a great feminist foremother: Margo St. James, the trailblazing leader of the modern sex workers’ rights movement. Though the term “sex work” itself wasn’t coined until the late 1970s, St. James’ San Francisco-based “organization of ‘loose women,’” going by the acronym COYOTE , brought sex workers and allies together in an unprecedented way in 1973. Soon, other groups cropped up around the U.S., including Prostitutes of New York .

The fight for sex workers’ rights is inherently feminist, but it’s still a divisive topic between those who are supportive and those who are more conservative. This is often because the rise of the anti-trafficking movement inspired legislation that often conflates consent-based, chosen sex work with kidnapping and “sexual slavery.” As a result, some anti-trafficking groups are working to ban all prostitution.

Annie Sprinkle, a revolutionary educator, sex-positive feminist, and advocate, offers up these easy ways to learn more about combatting whorephobia, protecting sex workers, and decriminalization–a great way to honor Margo St. James’ legacy.Write letters to incarcerated sex workers. Founded in 2016, SWOP Behind Bars offers many opportunities for allies to help currently and formerly incarcerated sex workers. One of the easiest things to do is join the organization’s pen pal program.

Pay for your porn. Find a sex worker who does an OnlyFans or Patreon and sign up to send a monthly fee. You can also donate to the Golden Age Appreciation Fund to help porn stars in need.
