After the pandemic forced strip clubs in San Francisco’s North Beach neighborhood to close and protests against police violence erupted in the summer, many dancers were laid off and started to work virtually instead.

And now, some dancers are hoping that this organizing will lead to better working conditions in strip clubs when the pandemic eventually ends.
