Every day in cities across the country, hundreds of people are arrested for engaging in or offering consensual acts with adults.

Their crime? Trading sex for the money. They are harassed, denied housing, incarcerated, and threatened by police officers. Today, sex workers are building a growing movement demanding that consensual sexual acts between adults be decriminalized. This is their story.

Advocates argue that this is the only way to reduce the harm experienced by people who engage in sex work by choice or circumstance 鈥� and to protect those who are coerced into it, but fear turning to the police.

鈥淪ex Work: It鈥檚 Just a Job鈥� shares the voices of an incredibly diverse group of sex workers discussing the ways in which they would benefit from decriminalization rather than current prohibitionist approaches, including 鈥渆nd demand鈥� or the 鈥淣ordic Model.鈥�

The film tracks organizing efforts to decriminalize sex work in New York State, including the successful campaign to repeal the discriminatory 鈥渓oitering for the purposes of prostitution鈥� law, which was used primarily to criminalize trans people in low-income immigrant communities.

The film was inspired by the bestselling book, The End of Policing, by Dr. Alex Vitale, which lays out the ways in which police have been used to harm vulnerable communities rather than provide true public safety and the many ways in which they could be replaced by less harmful interventions that center people鈥檚 well-being, not violent social control.
