Since Fighters all over the world have generously agreed to partner with us in spreading the word on the harms of porn, we want to be clear about just how far each donation goes, and why your support is so massively important in continuing to give a platform to the life-changing research that demonstrates the harmful impacts of porn.

By choosing to actively support Fight the New Drug today, here are the projects you’ll be helping to make possible.

Globalization: getting the word out

There could be the best, most thorough and credible information from the best sources, but if we don’t share it and give it a platform, no one will know about it. That’s why developing and producing quality, sharable resources is a vital and necessary part of this movement, and that’s why your part in our mobilization is so important.

The mobilization of our efforts across the globe is who we are, at the core: an awareness campaign and an educational platform that shines a light on pornography’s harms. We have spent countless hours and consulted with many experts in developing programs that will best reach people around the world, and educate on why porn is harmful to individuals, relationships, and society.

Our goal is to make sure anyone can access this information, so we’ve gathered it and optimized it for sharing and conversation-starting.

The resources our Fighters donate go directly into making these things possible!

Our Three-Part Documentary Series | Brain, Heart World is Fight the New Drug’s three-part documentary series. Through the generosity of our supporters, not only were we able to produce this incredible resource, but also offer it for free to watch for private viewings.

Educational Videos & Fighter Story Videos | Because of our support, we’re able to produce educational videos as well as capture videos of experts in various fields related to the subject of porn’s harms. Also, we’re able to film and produce personal stories of those whose lives have been impacted by porn. Anyone can view these short videos by visiting our short video page on our site or our YouTube channel.

Translated resources | Also included in our globalization efforts are our ongoing translation projects, which involve professionally translating select FTND materials and resources into other languages. Right now, you can access our Spanish-version FTND site, and you can also watch our three-part documentary, Brain, Heart, World, with Spanish subtitles!

The Blog & Research Articles | Mobilization efforts also include our blog that has over 1,000 articles, all centering around how porn is connected to sex trafficking, relationship dissatisfaction, and harms to consumers of porn. Additionally, we have other collaborative efforts including partnering with researchers and experts in writing our Get the Facts articles and getting the word out on social media with professional writers, influencers, and experts.

Social Media Awareness Campaigns | FTND’s ever-growing online presence continues to be one of the most recognized aspects of our organization, and one that raises awareness by educating millions of people each year. Behind every post, every tweet, every video, and every blog is an entire team of people dedicated to making sure that we’re delivering the best, most accurate and relevant information available to the public relating to porn’s harms. Anyone can follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube.

At the end of the day, this wouldn’t be a global movement without all of you, and when you support FTND, you’re tangibly giving further power to the facts that society desperately needs to hear.

Education: Raising awareness and empowering youth

We believe that one of the greatest ways to decrease the demand for pornography, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking is through education. We share the facts with our target audience, youth, and teens, by traveling around the world.

Our ambassadors and presenters give informative and quality presentations to a variety of different audience where we share resources to help educate our world on this issue. And our current and past programs and projects are just the beginning of our efforts to educate the world, and they made possible by support from people like you, all around the world.

Live Presentation ProgramFight the New Drug’s live assembly program is one of the most effective and powerful tools for our cause. Our age-appropriate and engaging presentations highlight research from respected academic institutions that demonstrates significant impacts of porn consumption for individuals, relationships, and society.

Having the opportunity to be face-to-face with tens of thousands of youth, parents, community leaders, and educators all across the country every year, is a huge indicator of how many schools and communities are joining the movement and agreeing that pornography is a huge issue for this generation.
