"There is a third thing that I cherish. In fact, perhaps it is the thing I value most highly: freedom. Freedom to think differently, to dress differently, to behave differently..."
It was great to see you Steve, Thank You for coming out to support us. You really out did yourself on this article .
Esther my friend it was so good to see you again. It was an honor to meet Laura and Meg in person.
Monday evening we did a reading at Pembroke. Thank you Elena Shih for bringing me the letters you students wrote to me. When I am done treasuring them they will become part of COYOTEs Archive at Brown.
Several people asked about Coyoye new book “Sex Work Policy: Participatory Action Research By and For Sex Workers and Sex Trafficking Survivors”
Sex Work Policy marks the coming together of cutting-edge participatory action research by and for people in the sex industry, illustrating how policy shapes their health, safety, and working conditions. While much has been written about people in the sex industry and how laws and policies affect them, we rarely hear from them. This is the first book compiling the experiences and voices of thousands of people in the United States' sex industry.
About the research:
People in Alaska’s Sex Trade - Their Lived Experiences and Policy Recommendations was research conducted by Tara Burns in Alaska, who is the author of Chapter 1
The other five surveys were conducted by COYOTE RI under the leadership of Bella Robinson, founder and executive director of COYOTE RI. The data was then achieved at Brown University Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women- Coyote RI Survey Collection
We are grateful to Alex Andrews, SWOP Behind Bars, and Cris Sardina Desiree Alliance, who helped workshop the 145 questions in the 2017 US survey. Bella spent countless years getting US sex workers to participate in five COYOTE RIs surveys.
In 2020, COYOTE RI and volunteers had already drafted ten chapters, at which time COYOTE RI hired Tara Burns as their research and policy director (2020-2024). Over the next three years, Tara Burns, with the assistance of several COYOTE RIs interns and volunteers, helped edit and reformat the book. We are grateful to Tara Burns for her contribution, for compiling 10 years of COYOTE RIs research into " Sex Work Policy"
