Take Action This Week!
White Ribbon Against Pornography (WRAP) Week is the perfect time to take a stand, whether on a national, state, or local level.
If you’re looking for a way to make a difference this week, check out these two actions:
- American Library Association
For years, the American Library Association (ALA) has encouraged public libraries to keep all computers unfiltered and to allow patrons, including children, access to pornography. As a result, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, exhibitionism, stalking and other lewd behavior takes place in libraries across the country.
Write your elected officials to ask that they make our libraries safe.
Also, please let us know of your experiences with Internet filters (or the lack thereof) at your public library and if your library carries sexually obscene young adult literature. Email:public@ncose.com.
