(Seattle, WA) Elevate, presented by Streamate, is proud to conclude 2024 with a December collaboration featuring Savannah Sly, the founder and co-director of New Moon Network.
Recently appointed to the board of directors for the Free Speech Coalition, Sly boasts extensive connections within the realms of sex work and sex worker advocacy. Drawing from her personal journey in various facets of sex work since the age of 18, Savannah melds her background with a deep comprehension of the real-life challenges faced by individuals to tackle issues such as criminalization, surveillance, discrimination, and societal stigma.
Currently, Savannah plays an active role on the global steering committee of the Sex Work Donor Collaborative and serves as a board member of the Woodhull Freedom Foundation, the sole organization in the US dedicated to upholding sexual freedom as a fundamental human right. Previously, Savannah was President of the board of Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) USA and was involved in organizing for SWOP’s Seattle chapter. She has also contributed to initiatives at the Gender Justice League, ACLU of WA, and grassroots efforts focused on sex work.
A spokesperson for Elevate expressed their enthusiasm, stating, “It’s been an incredible privilege to collaborate with Savannah Sly, who has truly been a shining beacon of inspiration for so many in our community. Her words and unwavering commitment to advocating for sex worker rights continue to inspire and uplift us all. We are deeply grateful for her support of Elevate and its mission.”
The highly anticipated collaboration Savannah Sly x Elevate features a candid one-on-one interview hosted by Vanessa Eve and directed by feminist porn filmmaker Inka Winter. This insightful conversation delves into the inextricable connections between various adult industry sectors, Savannah’s tireless advocacy for sex worker rights, including mainstream philanthropic spaces, and a deeply personal glimpse into her upbringing in the scenic landscapes of New England.
Additionally, Sly will share invaluable insights and practical advice for sex work organizers and advocates through a special pre-recorded Q&A session titled “Powerful Advice for Sex Work Organizers and Advocates.”
Savannah exclaimed, “I’m thrilled to partner with Elevate to uplift the exciting momentum behind the growing movement for sex workers’ rights and what it means for the adult industry. I look forward to discussing the relevance of our movement and what we can do to support its success.”
