Power Beyond Pride Podcast

Anger, Advocacy, and S** Workers’ Rights with Savannah Sly #40

Savannah Sly brings a movement-builder’s lens to the question of what actually changes things—beyond catharsis—by pairing passion with strategy, mentorship, and resources. She reflects on how she learned to communicate about s** work in ways people could hear, and how stigma shifts depending on the language people use (and the assumptions they bring). The hosts dig into how anger shows up across “sides,” and why meaningful progress requires both firm advocacy and the ability to talk across differences. Savannah explains New Moon Network’s work raising and distributing funds, educating philanthropy, and supporting advocates with training and an awards pool for unpaid labor. The episode ends with practical ways listeners and organizers can show up: invite s** worker advocates into your spaces, connect the dots to bodily autonomy, and reject policing as a default response to harm.
