We briefly mentioned the upcoming Be Aware: PORN HARMS National Awareness Campaign before and now we've got the details for you. We are particularly excited about this united effort as we know it will have a direct impact in the lives of so many individuals, marriages and families. The campaign will be launched Monday, July 11th.
Each week, we will focus on a specific harm of pornography: porn addiction, harms to children, increased sexual trafficking and violence against women. The links between the rise of a Pornified culture and these specific harms are undeniable!
Nearly all of the 110 members in the War on Illegal Pornography Coalition, as well as many other groups, will work together to share facts about these areas of harm. This campaign will reach tens of thousands of people. There will be over 25 events during the month, from local rallies to webinars to live online conferences that can be viewed right on our Facebook page. Participating groups will provide hundreds of free subscriptions to addiction recovery services and for filtering software. We will provide billboards, signs and web posters at no cost to all supporters. Much of the material can be downloaded from our website, www.pornharms.com/beaware, which also provides a calendar of events.
Get As Many People Involved As Possible!
The first week of the campaign will focus on pornography addiction. Some of the FREE ONLINE EVENTS allow you to:
- Understand what is happening to you physically with this addiction
- Hear from an addict's spouse's
- Learn about Internet safety
- Find tools for recovery
- Participate in a Twitter chat
There will be many more events and activities throughout the week focusing on addiction. Visit www.pornharms.com/beaware to see all of them and check back often as we're still adding events. If you are with a group that would like to join the effort, email me grassroots@pornharms.com.
Your support and courage keep all of this going. Thank you! Let's work together now to help others understand these devastating consequences of pornography.
