| Dear Friend, Across this great nation — despite a nearly 250-year commitment to the rule of law and governmental obligation to protect those who are most vulnerable — we continue to allow our children to be exploited by pornography. Even more shocking, it’s often in the name of freedom of speech, thought, or enterprise. Fortunately, with school starting up nationwide, more people are likely to be thinking about children and their welfare. At this very minute, the team at the National Center on Sexual Exploitation is fighting to protect our kids and grandchildren. Thanks to your support we were able to have a just-in-time win with Google — they have heard our requests over the past year and have agreed to turn ON all filters on their K-12 Chromebooks. Along with “safe search” default and incognito and guest modes off, millions of children will be shielded from hard core pornography on their school notebook! Unfortunately, Google is not the only online threat to our kids ... we continue to work with the leadership of many popular platforms and programs including EBSCO, an online library resource for public and private K-12 schools, universities, and public libraries. Many of its tools (Explora, Science Reference, and others) provide easy access to pornographic images and sites. We're also engaging with Discord and Reddit, two informative social media platforms that are popular with children and teens. They are also used extensively by predators for sharing child sexual abuse materials and for grooming and engaging with children When you give now to protect our children, your gift will be automatically DOUBLED by a Matching Grant! Online platforms have not taken enough steps to reduce kids’ exposure to pornography and predators. That’s one reason EBSCO, Reddit, and Discord are on our 2021 Dirty Dozen List. Every dollar you give now will be matched to end the exploitation of those most vulnerable ... our children! These software giants must do much more to help schools and parents protect students. We have to keep the pressure on them to prove they care about our kids’ welfare, even if it means we continue to publicly call them out. To do that, your support is absolutely critical. Your gift — automatically DOUBLED now by the Matching Grant — will help protect TWICE as many children. Only by working together will we make their safety from abuse and exploitation an absolute priority. Thank you for giving generously! |
