In the desert heat of Las Vegas, a community gathered not for a party, but for a purpose. On June 21, performer and advocate Nina Nova brought together fellow adult industry members at The Slutty Poolhouse to mark a solemn anniversary: one year since the tragic death of Las Vegas sex worker Larissa Garcia.
The gathering was a mix of remembrance and resolve, a moment to honor a life lost and to steel for the fight ahead. The group is preparing to make their voices heard at the trial of Garcia’s accused killer, set to begin this fall.
A Promise to Show Up
The case is a chilling reminder of the dangers sex workers face. According to reports, Garcia’s client on that day, Jason Kendall, admitted to choking her for approximately 10 minutes before leaving her behind. While Kendall was initially found mentally unfit to stand trial, he has since received treatment, and legal proceedings are now scheduled to commence on September 22.
For Nina Nova and other local advocates, this trial is a critical moment. They are urging the adult community and its allies to fill the courtroom, sending a clear message that violence against their own will not be ignored.
“This matters. It matters that we care and that we show up. And that’s all I can ever ask. That we just care even when it hurts. We’re gonna be there in September.”
– Nina Nova
More Than a Hashtag
This call to action taps into a powerful current within the adult industry. Far beyond the studio lights, creators and performers are increasingly using their platforms to advocate for safety, rights, and mutual support. The push for justice for Larissa Garcia is a grassroots movement, organized by those who understand the stakes firsthand.
The gathering wasn’t just a memorial; it was a strategy session and a promise. In an industry often sensationalized and misunderstood, events like this highlight a resilient community organizing to protect its members and hold the justice system accountable. As one advocate noted, showing up in person is a powerful act of solidarity that can’t be dismissed.
The Fight Ahead
As the September trial date approaches, the focus is shifting from mourning to mobilization. The community that gathered by the pool is ready to trade swimsuits for courtroom attire, proving that their commitment to justice for Larissa Garcia is unwavering.
Nina Nova’s final words at the gathering captured the determined spirit of the group, a promise not just to Larissa, but to each other. It’s a vow to keep caring, even when it’s painful, and to show up, no matter what.
