Amberly Rothfield to Speak at Sex Work Decriminalization Rally

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—Adult industry consultant Amberly Rothfield is set to speak at an upcoming “Sex Work Is Work” decriminalization rally this Sunday, May 2, at 3 p.m. ET in New York City's Tompkins Square Park.

The rally is a joint effort by the Adult Performance Artists Guild (APAG) and Eliza Orlins' campaign for Manhattan District Attorney. Amberly will be joining APAG officials Alana Evans and Kelly Pierce as speakers at the event. More information about the rally can be found at Mobilize.us.

“I am beyond honored to be a part of this movement,” Rothfield said. “Decriminalization is a very important step towards ending discrimination against the adult industry. Sex work is work and should be recognized and protected as such.”

Orlins commented, "I have been fighting to decriminalize sex work in New York—and across the country—for as long as I've been a public defender. Our work as a movement is finally paying off, with big steps being made on legislative and executive levels across America, but we still have a long way to go to ensure that every worker is free from violence and punishment from the criminal legal system and society as a whole. I'm so glad to be joined by the Adult Performance Artists Guild, sex workers, and activists for a Sex Work Is Work rally this Sunday to show our city—and the world—that Manhattan remains the centerpoint of progress and opportunity for all."
