Since 2009, we've given visibility to research and personal accounts demonstrating how pornography can negatively impact individuals, relationships, and society. Through this grassroots movement, millions of people have found hope and freedom. We couldn't do this without Fighters like you!
I recently decided to wear my PKL shirt to O’Hare airport. I immediately noticed lots of staring, which is expected when you’re wearing a shirt that has the word “porn.” A few people stopped me to tell me they loved my shirt, many smiled and pointed. It was refreshing to see people reacting and hopefully having meaningful conversations after seeing it. The best part was while entering the aircraft, a flight attendant greeted us and after reading my shirt, her face lit up! She loved the message and had her coworker come see it as well. During the flight, the flight attendant offered me a complimentary beer “for wearing such an awesome shirt.”
By supporting FTND, you aren’t just giving your money to another nonprofit. You are provided with a tool to spread an empowering, world-changing message. By wearing a shirt with the 3 simple words “Porn Kills Love,” I was able to raise awareness, start conversations for many, and pass the message along.
I had to give a persuasive speech at my college. I chose the topic of porn. Everyone was shocked when I stood up and the title of my presentation popped up: “Why we need to fight against pornography.” At first, some of them chuckled, but toward the end, the entire class was either leaning forward or on the verge of tears. When I finished, my professor and some classmates said to me, “We are ready to fight,” and it made me so happy. I sincerely believe that there are many young people who know the darkness behind watching pornography but are too afraid of standing alone. Thankfully, I let my class know that there are hundreds of Fighters willing to support each other.
I have been working toward letting go of porn this year, and the last few days have been rough. Today I was on the verge of buying porn and instead, I donated to y’all’s “Give for Love” fundraiser on Facebook! This is a huge step in the right direction, and I know I won’t regret donating that money later!
I just want to thank you for what you’re doing here. I need facts, and when the craving for porn is high, I go to this page and let it help reset my brain. I hate porn and its energy but the magnetism is real; it’s like a parasite to humanity. Please keep always doing what you’re doing because it makes a difference.
Thank you for showing the humanity in people in the porn industry. When I was a teen, I was caught up in the industry by an older man I thought I could trust. I wish more people knew that for so many girls they see online, consent isn’t an option. I was told if I didn’t do something, or revoked my consent, I’d owe THEM money or they’d do something to hurt me. Imagine if a date told you that you’d owe them money if you didn’t sleep with them. But the industry got a free pass for that. That’s the tip of the iceberg, but the fear and myriad of coercion tactics they use are real… while so many young girls/boys are being exploited.
I’m thankful that there are people speaking up about the porn industry. It’s not regulated or supervised, so I’m hesitant to even call it an industry. I fight every day to move on, so when I see people also fighting against this, it really warms my heart.
