The highly-talked about sex panel at Netroots Nation is up online!!! I was so proud (and nervous) to be a part of this panel, and now you can hear for yourself why sexual freedom is key to liberation,
This year, we had the first ever sex panel ever at the 7th Netroots Nation!!
This was both great and sad, because it was surprising to many of us panelists that sexual freedom was not something that had been fully incorporated into this progressive gathering, when so much of what we do in our work in some ways ties back our agency to be free, and sexually liberated.
My co-presenter, Charlie Glickman, Education Program Manager at Good Vibrations, wrote on his blog:
It’s hardly news that neo-conservative groups are waging a war on sex. But it’s often a surprise to me how rarely progressive movements integrate sexuality issues into their efforts. In my view, there is no freedom without sexual freedom. ...this is the first time that this particular topic has been presented at this event, which is in its 7th year. While I’m glad to see movement towards including issues of sexual justice, I’m surprised that it took this long, since the links between sexuality and social justice seem so clear to me.
I was on the panel speaking with Jenifer Fernandez Ancona, Elisabeth Fernandez-Kimmel, Kierra Johnson, William Winters and Charlie Glickman.
