What Is Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit?
Reid: What is Woodhull? Hi my name is Reid Mihalko from https://reidaboutsex.com/ also the creator of http://www.sexgeeksummercamp.com/ and when I’ve got the green shirt on with the camp logo that means this is a business advice video for sex educators and whatnot and I have the amazing Nina Hartley from http://www.nina.com/notsafeforwork
Nina: Not safe for work.
Reid: Not safe for…
Nina: [Inaudible 00:00:22]
Reid: it’s not safe for work that….that http://www.nina.com/notsafeforwork and @ninaland on Twitter. Tell us about Woodhull ‘coz I….I know what it is but they don’t and you’re way more articulate.
Nina: Woodhull…..Woodhull Alliance.org https://www.woodhullfoundation.org/ is the only civil rights organization that works at the intersection of human rights and civil rights. Our motto is “Sexual Freedom is a Fundamental Human Right.” We’re also working on the….the Right to Family Project so Woodhull is an advocacy group it is an umbrella group that seeks to work with policy makers and lawmakers to directly change the laws that impact our ability to use our bodies as we see fit. One of the things I’m most proud of is they talk they got the law reversed in Florida that mandated the shackling of female prisoners in labor. It’s not like they’re going to go anywhere. So every year in Washington D.C. in August we have the Woodhull Sexual Freedom Summit hashtag SF
