Decades of studies from respected academic institutions have demonstrated significant impacts of porn consumption for individuals, relationships, and society.

Fight the New Drug is a non-religious and non-legislative organization that exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using only science, facts, and personal accounts.

What started over a decade ago, as a group of college friends with a shared passion to positively impact the world, has grown into a global movement. We are so proud to say that millions of people are now recognizing pornography for what it is and rejecting its influence in their lives.

We are the organization we are today because of those who have fought for this cause and supported our mission to raise awareness on the harmful effects of porn.

We’re continually growing, and it is because of our Fighters that our resources have been able to educate and raise awareness on this issue across the globe.

Included in our globalization efforts are our ongoing translation projects, which involve professionally translating select FTND materials and resources into other languages—including Spanish!
