The Adult Performance Artists Guild is proud to welcome industry workers to an open APAG meeting with Alexandra Hunt, a candidate running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Philadelphia PA-03. As more legislation is introduced that directly affects our workers, APAG recognizes how important it is to seek out leaders who support industry labor efforts and sex work decriminalization.
Alexandra Hunt is a public health researcher, a girls’ soccer coach, an advocate for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice, and an organizer fighting for the 3rd district of Pennsylvania. During her time in college, Alexandra worked as both a server and a stripper in order to make ends meet, furthering her commitment to issues affecting working-class people. When she spoke to www.technic.ly , Alexandra was quoted saying “I decided to be transparent, and I didn’t want to be in a place where anything was being used against me. I did it because I needed the finances,” Hunt said. “And I’m not going to be ashamed of it, and I’m hoping I get to connect with other women or male sex workers out there.”
Recently members of APAG, including President Alana Evans, spoke at a rally to support Eliza Orlins, a candidate running for District Attorney in Manhattan. Evans discussed the plight of sex workers who face discrimination, along with raising a family as a sex worker.
“We are excited to provide the opportunity for our workers and introduce our community to potential leaders who will listen to our struggles and fight for us,” Evans noted.
Fellow APAG member, Amberly Rothfield, helped organize the upcoming meeting with Alexandra Hunt after connecting with her team at the Manhattan rally. “In the words of Melrose Micheals, we are the one industry that has the least representation in the political system. I will always back those who want to give us more of a voice in government”, Rothfield stated.
The APAG meeting with Alexandra Hunt is open to all industry workers, including non-members of APAG. The event will take place Sunday, May 16, 2021, at 5pm PST/ 8pm EST with a regularly scheduled meeting to follow.
