The work of Demanding MO Ho Justice
MHJ was co-founded by Black Transcendence Creative Director, Jay-Marie Hill and sex work-scholar Indigo Hann in the complex times of 2020 as a place for sex work advocacy via organizing in Missouri.
Upon the close of ACLU’s Trans Justice Program in 2021, Team Black Transcendence incubated the group from 2021-23 into a standalone entity shaping community and meeting the needs of Midwest workers.
