"FIGHT THE NEW DRUG"

Fight the New DrugThe global campaign against pornography
POWDER SPRINGS, Georgia --The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be hosting two sessions on how to “Fight Pornography: the New Drug,” Saturday, April 26 (adults) and Sunday, April 27 (youth, ages 12-18) at 7:00 pm at 2595 New Macland Rd, Powder Springs, GA 30127. 
The national group, Fight the New Drug, will present ways to help adults and youth effectively deal with pornography. The meetings are not religion-based.
Fight the New Drug, is a youth-oriented non-profit organization dedicated to bringing global awareness, education and unity to the fight against pornography.
FTND seeks to educate, empower and equip young people about the science of how pornography negatively affects the brain, destroys relationships and increases sexual violence in society. The goals of the organization are decreasing the demand for pornography through education and outreach efforts, unifying anti-pornography efforts and serving as an information hub for those seeking help.
“We are the first generation in the history of the world to face the issue of pornography to this intensity and scale,” state the founders of FTND. “We are also the first generation with a fact-based understanding of the harm pornography can do, and with that knowledge we feel the responsibility to share it with others.”
FTND is the third generation of the modern anti-pornography movement. They have adopted a non-legislative, non-judgmental approach. They do not contest the legality of pornography or people's right to produce and use it. FTND's approach is to educate about the negative effects of pornography on individuals, families and businesses.
Fight the New Drug affirms, “By individually choosing to reject pornography we can shape our own lives. By spreading this message to others we hold the power to shape history.”Preferences§1234567890-=BackspaceTabqwertyuiop[]Returncapslockasdfghjkl;'shift`zxcvbnm,./shiftEnglishDeutschEspañolFrançaisItalianoPortuguêsРусскийalt altPreferencesPreferences§1234567890-=BackspaceTabqwertyuiop[]Returncapslockasdfghjkl;'shift`zxcvbnm,./shiftEnglishDeutschEspañolFrançaisItalianoPortuguêsРусскийalt altPreferences
