We say it all the time, and we’ll say it again: we wouldn’t be anywhere without our global community of Fighters.
In line with our mission to raise awareness of the harms of porn using science, facts, and personal accounts, we aggregate existing research to create a plethora of easy-to-digest resources. Still, it’s up to our diverse and loyal supporters to spread awareness and education to their countries and communities. This is a grassroots, boots-on-the-ground movement for change, so every interaction, share, conversation, post, tag, and download makes a huge difference.
Here are a few ways to join this movement and make a difference wherever you are.
1. Follow & Engage
For all of our social media Fighters, represent the movement online by following Fight the New Drug on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter, and YouTube.
As an online grassroots movement for love, we use social media to connect people worldwide by posting educational and engaging content on every platform we can. We share valuable information daily on each site, helping millions across the globe become more informed about the harmful effects of pornography.
Already following us? Take it a step further and engage, interact, and support by liking, sharing, saving, or commenting on content, including posts, reels, and stories. The more engagement each type of content gets, the more people will be exposed to critical issue-specific information.
2. Share Your Story
A pillar of our work at Fight the New Drug involves sharing true accounts of those impacted by pornography and sexual exploitation. Personal stories and experiences humanize these complex issues. They open eyes to the realities of pornography, provide healing, and help individuals realize they aren’t alone.
If your life has been affected by pornography or sexual exploitation and you feel ready to share your story, we are here to listen. Apply to have your story shared with our Fighters through a podcast, video, article, or social post.
*Not all stories can or will be shared. Stories will not be shared without prior consent and approval.
3. Watch & Share the docu-series Brain, Heart, World
Our three-part docu-series Brain, Heart, World explores pornography’s impact on individuals, relationships, and society using compelling personal accounts, earth-shattering research, and appropriate sprinkles of humor. It is free for individuals worldwide to stream, and we have public screening license options for sharing it with your school, organization, or community. Hosting a private screening is one of the best ways to start a dialogue in your community.
Brain, Heart, World is suitable for the whole family and educational, regardless of your stance on porn!
- “The Brain” dives into the scientific research that illustrates the physiological and neurological harms pornography has on individuals.
- “The Heart” explores pornography’s impacts on romantic relationships and platonic relationships such as those with friends, family, and everyday interpersonal connections.
