This episode has been a long time coming and after some technical difficulties during the first round and some major anxiety, I have gotten the group together to record this fantastic episode on what's happening in the east coast of the USA. You might've heard an earlier episode this season on the decriminalization front in Vermont with Misha Montana (Episode #170) and you can think of this episode as a response/part 2 continuation of that conversation. On today's episode, I invite David Mickenberg and Henri of the Ishtar Collective onto the show to speak about what collective efforts they have been working on towards pushing for decriminalization in Vermont. David is a political lobbyist who has had much experience lobbying for harm reduction and other related causes against marginalized groups in the state of Vermont. Henri's experience in advocacy in organizing spans across her time in various states. In this conversation, we speak about the landscape in Vermont -- what's happening with sex work, how has the public received it, and where they are receiving support. It's a riveting conversation (and a hopeful and progressive one too!).
