Dear Friend,
We have a MASSIVE opportunity right now.
This week, child safety and anti-sexual exploitation advocates and organizations from Australia, Belgium, Bolivia, Canada, Denmark, England, India, Ireland, Liberia, Scotland, Sweden, Uganda, and the United States of America—a coalition spearheaded by our newly-launched International Centre on Sexual Exploitation (ICOSE)—sent a joint letter to major credit card and payment processing companies requesting that they stop processing payments for the hardcore pornography industry. This crucial campaign stands as the first international effort to advocate for this change.
Excitingly, for the next 24 hours, the BBC is prominently featuring an article which highlights this trailblazing international grassroots advocacy campaign!
That means that—right now—we have a special moment of worldwide media coverage with which we can grow awareness, make new allies, and gain momentum for the movement to end sexual exploitation in all its forms.
Accordingly, your involvement and advocacy are incredibly important to ensure the efficacy and success of this important campaign.
We need the movement to end sexual exploitation, made up of passionate advocates such as yourself, to stand up together by leveraging this unique opportunity to take action and raise awareness on a global scale.
By collectively coming forward to confront these massive international brands with the truth about the exploitation of the pornography industry, we have the opportunity to ensure that they come face-to-face with the truth and are compelled to make a decision about whether they want to be complicit with sexual exploitation.
Here's what we all need to do to help this effort succeed:
- Complete this easy-to-use Advocacy Action. It allows you to quickly send an email directly to corporate executives at all of the card companies in question (MasterCard, Discover, etc.) and then provide the link to the Action to people in your network
- Share the BBC article far and wide on social media
