Migrant Sex Workers Against Fascism: Lessons from 150 Years of Resistance
Update: 2025-11-20
Description
Chanelle Gallant, Elene Lam, Emi Koyama, and Yves Tong Nguyen speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025.
Travel bans, ICE abductions and deportations of green card holders are nothing new for migrants in the sex industry. But their lives and struggles also offer us a blueprint for resisting surveillance, criminalization and the “good immigrant” vs “bad immigrant” division. Instead they inspire us to transform fear and uncertainty into creativity, power, empathy and noncompliance.
The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, September 4-7, 2026. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
