![[3-34] What it Takes to Realize a City Free From Porn](https://i0.wp.com/parentsaware.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/City-Free_Feature.jpg?resize=840%2C420&ssl=1)
Think about your city. Then think about the children that live there. What are their needs? What are their wants? What is their cry? Once we start asking the right questions, that’s when we start to get answers—solutions. For one woman the solution was to collaborate with her mayor and launch the City Free From Porn campaign.
This week, I am thrilled to have Letitia Shelton return to the podcast. You may remember, I spoke with her in season two about instilling value, beauty, and purpose in girls (Ep. #2-9). Back then we briefly talked about the City Free From Porn campaign. This year she’s taken it to a new level and it deserves our full attention.
City Free From Porn campaign
With an aim to build awareness and help parents start important conversations, Letitia and her team of volunteers are distributing 30,000 copies of the book, “How to Talk to Your Kids About Pornography”—one for every household in their city. To raise the required funds (a mere $200,000), Letitia committed to cycling 2200 km across north-western Australia. Wow!
In this episode:
- The Ride for Freedom. Progress on the journey to build awareness.
- Porn is predatory. Insessantly targeting kids, porn has become their primary sex educator.
- High stakes. More porn means more abuse against women and girls.
- Fighting back. Equipping parents with information to have important conversations.
