We Are All Worthy - with Alexandra Hunt

This week, on Old Pro News, we're talking about decrim in Belgium, a stripper strike in North Hollywood, and financial discrimination in the sex industry. Our guest is Alexandra Hunt, a congressional candidate from Philadelphia who has made her background as a stripper a part of her campaign while refusing to be reduced to that one aspect of who she is and what she stands for. And then Keesha connects Alexandra Hunt's fight for dignity to the worthiness of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.   For more resources on this episode, visit our website: https://oldprosonline.org/oldpronews-005/ GUEST BIO AND LINKS   https://www.alexandramhunt.com/   Alexandra Hunt is a public health researcher, a girls' soccer coach, an advocate for social, racial, economic, and environmental justice, and an organizer fighting for the 3rd district of Pennsylvania.
