Your Voices Heard: Petition 17,500 Strong Delivered to Department of
Justice
Advancing public policy to protect children and strengthen families is
among our top priorities at Family Policy Alliance.® In
today's culture, one of the most pervasive forms of harm to
children and families is pornography - which is why we are
focused on curbing the pornography industry.
Unfortunately, 2020 has created a "perfect storm" for the
proliferation of pornography in America. During the COVID-19 pandemic
when Americans were quarantined at home, many lost their jobs or had
to work less and school children were required to learn online,
pornography viewing and distribution increased at an alarming
rate...taking children and families as victims.
That is why throughout this year, we've asked you to take action
against the burgeoning pornography industry. Specifically, we
asked you to sign a petition to Attorney General William Barr calling
on the Department of Justice to enforce federal obscenity laws that
have been largely ignored for far too long. Despite a
first-of-its-kind pledge made by then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016
to aggressively enforce these laws, the Department of Justice has so
far failed to make obscenity prosecution a national priority.

Over the course of many months, more than 17,500 of you have made your
voices heard and signed the petition to Attorney General Barr.
I'm pleased to report that yesterday, we delivered your petition
to the Attorney General's office.
You may be asking "so what do we do now?"
Well, our work is certainly not done. Most importantly at this
time, we invite you to pray with us that our petition and the calls of
thousands of Americans concerned for the welfare of children and
families will be heard and heeded at the Department of Justice.
We can pray specifically for Attorney General Barr who leads the 94
U.S. Attorney's Offices that are responsible for enforcing
federal law. And as we look forward to the 2021 state
legislative sessions, we will continue to educate you on public policy
to strengthen existing anti-pornography laws and create new laws to
curb the growth and negative effects of pornography in our
country. Stay tuned!
For families,
