Soma Snakeoil is a sex worker, artist, and activist leading The Sidewalk Project — a women-led harm reduction organization on Skid Row saving lives the system has abandoned.

In this conversation, Soma shares the heartbreaking story of Jamie — a woman with developmental disabilities who was illegally released from care, dumped on the streets, and later died from a preventable medical condition. Her story exposes how hospitals, social services, and government systems keep failing homeless people.

We also discuss harm reduction, patient dumping, sex work, art, and what it really means to show up for people everyone else turns away.
