Sam Berg
I’m a journalist and organizer with a focus on reducing slavery by reducing men’s demand for prostitution through the Nordic Model.
Before social media, anti-prostitution activists needed an online space to coordinate actions so I created the forums at Genderberg.com where around 200 people actively contributed to one of the earliest internet radical feminist communities.
I’ve been featured on Vice News Hate Thy Neighbor: Feminism 101 and the Whose Body Is It Podcast. In 2013 I founded the nonprofit Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF).

In 2005, I endeavored to write the best prostitution FAQ on the web and it still is.
