January 15-17: Stop Porn Culture Slideshow Training, Bellingham, WA

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:


  • 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
We will also have a long session of practicing Q & As in small groups.

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.
