Around 35 sex workers and allies, including members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), took to the streets to advocate on behalf of Salazar, whose platform includes decriminalizing sex work. On Monday, a Salt Lake City nonprofit advocated before a state task force for decriminalizing sex work in Utah.
