Marla Martinez (@prolepeach on Twitter) is a sex work advocate who is currently out of work to observe social distancing during the Coronavirus pandemic. She explains the unique issues that sex workers face in a time when all work is precarious. Sex workers who are not in a position to stay home face harsher working conditions from customers, bosses, and law enforcement. Marla, by not working, will owe her club "back rent" for simply being employed. Marla shares how she and her fellow sex workers are finding solidarity remotely in these uncertain times and how allies can help fight the stigma and push for policy reforms that will allow sex workers rights like all workers deserve.
