Did you know that strippers are on strike in Portland, OR, the city said to have the most strippers per capita of any U.S. city? https://twitter.com/editorswindler/status/1275957178566770689
Oh wow this blew up overnight. Please follow https://www.instagram.com/pdxstripperstrike/ in Portland, https://www.instagram.com/stripperstrikepa/ in Philly, and donate to https://www.instagram.com/pdxswrelief/  which has been giving out basic supplies to sex workers during the pandemic/issuing BIPOC swer microgrants.
Also as this blows up I should explain WHY they are on strike. Black dancers have a harder time getting hired and scheduled at strip clubs. Clubs often have unspoken quotas like only one black girl per shift. BIPOC strippers are tired of it and are changing the industry.
Also should point out it has been incredibly successful so far here in Portland, where a majority of the clubs have signed a pledge to do diversity training with the local YWCA (partnering with PDX Stripper Strike.) Donations: http://YWCAPDX.org/stripperstrike
