Here's my take on Sex work: organize sex workers, help them create their own leadership, and then support whatever goals the radical wing of the movement puts forward. It's how we approach every other issue.
Pre-BLM: twitter debates on prison abolition
Post-BLM: It becomes clear that the left of BLM supports abolition, abolition becomes left wing concensus in the US.
And also like, take local conditions into account. In the US where ACT-UP was one of our most important movements, "harm-reduction" makes sense as a framework. In the Zapatista Autonomous Rebel Territories, where the community collectively decided to enact prohibition, prohibition makes sense.
