On episode 175 of American Sex Podcast, we talk with Codi Vore and Queen Ava about sex worker mutual aid and the organization they helped co-found, SWAID Las Vegas. Some of what we cover:

• How mutual aid differs from traditional non-profits & how this strategy eliminates exploitation and inequity common in mainstream charity
• Why mutual aid is especially beneficial to sex workers and circumvents barriers that are specific to this industry
• How the pandemic has affected the sex work community and made mutual aid efforts more mainstream in many different communities
• Decriminalization of sex work and how it differs from legalization
• Financial discrimination of all types of sex workers from full service to cam performers and OnlyFans creators
