Corn Telethon: A Unique Fundraising Event for Sex Workers
Today, adult film star Siri Dahl is spearheading a nostalgic telethon known as the Corn Telethon. This 12-hour livestream—named after a euphemism for ”porn” frequently used on social media—promises to be lighthearted and suitable for all audiences, featuring entertainers from both the adult industry and mainstream entertainment.
A Throwback to Classic Telethons
The event draws inspiration from traditional telethons reminiscent of those hosted by legendary comedian Jerry Lewis. The primary goal of this livestream is fundraising; all proceeds will benefit the Sex Workers Outreach Project Los Angeles and support grants aimed at enhancing journalism focused on sex worker issues. Furthermore, Corn Telethon aims to raise awareness about Project 2025—a conservative agenda that includes proposals to outlaw pornography and impose severe penalties on its creators should Trump secure another presidential term.

Addressing Critical Issues in the Industry
The inception of this telethon arose when Dahl and podcaster Alex Steed recognized that many politicians were not addressing the specific threats posed by Project 2025. According to their announcement, there is a notable lack of political discourse surrounding broader challenges faced by sex workers today.
“With insufficient representation from elected officials willing to confront these issues head-on, we enlisted friends from both adult entertainment and mainstream sectors,” states the Corn Telethon website. “Our aim is to highlight these pressing concerns while entertaining our audience with humor, music performances, giveaways, and engaging activities reminiscent of classic television shows.”
A Memorable Experience in Support of Important Causes
Dahl expressed her excitement about the event’s potential impact: “The Corn Telethon will feature an abundance of quirky moments that I believe will resonate with our viewers long after it concludes.” She added that in her extensive career within the adult industry spanning over a decade, she has never encountered an event quite like this one. Her objective isn’t merely perfection but rather contributing to something innovative while uplifting her peers in sex work and raising funds for vital causes.
In addition to hosting this telethon, Dahl is actively participating in the Hands Off My Porn campaign which promotes anti-Project 2025 advertisements across adult websites targeting swing states.
