We are pleased to share this announcement from Stop Porn Culture:
Our next slideshow training will be January 15-17, 2010, in Bellingham, WA. Come and get the experience, knowledge, and confidence to talk publicly against pornography in your community. The training will include in-depth presentations on topics such as:
We will also have a long session of practicing Q & As in small groups.
- the links between pornography and violence against women
- background on the economic industry that is pornography
- First Amendment and other free speech issues
- women in the industry
- the sexualization of children
- the question of “alternate” images
- how to organize in your community
The training will end with a session on self-care for presenters and activists since, as many of you know, this work can be grueling. For more info and to register, go to http://stoppornculture.org/training/
We are also planning our next international feminist anti-pornography conference next June in Boston. We’re not ready for registration just yet, but you can mark your calendars. It will be June 12-13, 2010.
