Sex Work, Policing And Border Abolition

Harsha Walia, Chanelle Gallant, Elene Lam, and Robyn Maynard speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. This session was sponsored by Butterfly and Red Canary Song. https://www.butterflysw.org https://www.redcanarysong.net For over a century, Western states have scapegoated Asian migrant sex working women as “temptations” or victims to justify tighter borders, anti-immigrant restrictions and more policing–yet these workers have been left out of social movements. We explore how solidarity with migrant sex workers can strengthen movements for migrant justice, and the abolition of police, prisons, borders and racial capitalism.
