Circulate widely!

US Senators just introduced a bipartisan bill that would allow victims of non-consensual content to sue sites who distribute itlike Pornhub. The new bill was i...ntroduced by Republican Senator Josh Hawley with support from Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan. The law would make it illegal for websites to knowingly distribute videos of sex acts in which victims were coerced or tricked into it, or in which they didn't consent for the footage to be shared. This would create a powerful avenue of justice for countless victims whose rape and trafficking videos have been widely distributed on Pornhub. "Currently, it is extremely difficult for survivors to remove the harmful imagery from the public sphere permanently. Our bipartisan bill would create a legal pathway in federal court for victims to obtain just compensation from the person who shared their images without their consent, and to compel the removal of those images," shared Senator Hassan. This is another significant win in the fight to hold Pornhuband any predatory porn siteaccountable for their complicity in sex crimes, and we fully support it!

Laura Ingraham again invited our #Traffickinghub movement founder, Laila Mickelwait, on her show, this time to comment on Pornhub's recent deletion of 10 millio...n+ videos on the site (almost 75% of their content). As Laila points out, Pornhub has known about the presence of rape and trafficking videos on their platform for over a decade and their recent move is motivated by fear of criminal liability, rather than out of any real concern for victims. We're incredibly grateful for the continued global media spotlight on Pornhub's crimes! But we won't stop till the job is done.

Former Pornhub moderators are blowing the whistle about the horrific demands placed on them by the company and how they were required to watch up to 1200 videos... per shiftwhich is mathematically impossible. This demonstrates clear criminal negligence and reckless disregard for the safety of those featured in the millions of videos they profit from, and makes a mockery of Pornhub's consistent claim that they have an "extensive team of moderators." One former moderator described how their job was to "find weird excuses not to remove" videos including incest and rape, and told of how their job would induce burn out and panic attacks. Daily Mail reported "They spoke of managers who felt 'untouchable' boasting of soaring profits at all-staff meetings and who took too long to report and remove concerning content." These reports confirm what we've been saying for the past year: Pornhub's wildly inefficient moderating system welcomes exploitation, all while they turn a profit from 115 million daily visits. Every new bit of revelation about Pornhub's tactics is another step toward victory in the fight to shut it down.

I am a transgender lesbian running to be elected for the BC Green Party in Coquitlam-Maillardville. While I'm not going to be focusing solely on LGBTQ2+ issues,... I have been active in pushing for queer rights over the years and I believe I can bring a unique and much needed voice to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. See more

Orange Shirt Day In memory of residential school survivors... Every child matters Purchased direct from an Edmonton Cree artist. Cree language on top translates "Mobilize"

In the first time she's shared publicly, this brave young survivor told some of her story at the recent Los Angeles protest in front of Pornhub's offices. She w...as one of the 100 women who were coerced and defrauded into shooting pornography for the Pornhub channel GirlsDoPorn, a proven sex trafficking scheme. These young women victims were deceived by ads promising a (fully-clothed) modeling job, then transported, isolated, and threatened in order to coerce them into shooting the porn scenes. She and 21 other women won a major lawsuit against GirlsDoPorn, and the channel owner, Michael Pratt, fled the country. He is currently a wanted fugitive. Share her video to elevate the voice of survivors! It's the most powerful force in this global movement.

Decolonizing Columbus Day https://www.bustle.com/p/thanksgiving-promotes-whitewashed-

#Repost @nytgender A group of French feminists called Les Colleuses, or the Gluers, has taken to the streets around Paris with a large-scale poster campai...gn aimed at raising awareness of violence against women. For about a year, posters denouncing sexual abuse and femicide the killing of a woman because of her gender have blanketed walls to protest the French government’s response to the growing problem of domestic violence. Signs reading Dad killed Mom, or You said you loved me, but it was still rape, have been pasted along canal bridges and the sandstone facades around the city. Our goal is to bring these facts before the eyes, so that one cannot look away, said a member of the group. Because this violence always remains in the shadows.

I so deeply appreciate the work Jackson Katz has done to shift this narrative.... Violence against women isn't a women's issue, it's a men's issue. Let's start talking about who is choosing to commit sexualized crimes against women and young girls!

Sexual assault is physical violence that is sexualized. It is about power and control, not sexual attraction and has nothing to do with what someone was wearing. These stories from survivors of sexualized violence, harassment or exploitation illustrate the dynamics of power and control and challenge victim blaming which insists that the sexualized abuse is somehow the victim's fault and responsibility. Read their stories. Challenge rape culture!

Hysterical aaaaand understated

As mask-wearing becomes more widespread and, in certain spaces, mandatory, we wanted to flag that some survivors of sexual assault are unable to wear masks due ...to flashbacks, panic attacks and severe anxiety. For those survivors who are struggling to wear masks but would like to, here are some tips. If wearing a mask is triggering for you, it is entirely valid not to wear one. Regardless of your experience with masks, we're here for you. While our support phone line hours are not scheduled this week, we're still available for appointments!

Please tell me this is NOT the generation of young men we are raising What is our society doing to intelligent young men for them to be parroting out this programmed, uninvestigated, no-critical-thinking, no feminist-analysis-of-violence-against-women patriarchal BS? These young men have no clue what they are standing for. Thieving the minds of young men - patriarchy hurts everyone
