Backpage.com is DOWN thanks to a raid by the FBI. Remember they were the only website that did not respond with HR 1865-FOSTA/SESTA was overwhelmingly passed by Congress recently. Backpage continued in the human trafficking business until tonight when they were stopped by federal agents from the US Department of Justice!
Action Alert – Ask Senator McConnell and Cornyn to Run This Bill Now!
HR 1865, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act, overwhelming passed in the US House by a vote of 388 to 25. This bill would amend Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act which has been misinterpreted by the courts to protect websites which allow classified ads linked to sex trafficking. That was never the intention of the supporters of this section and must be amended.
Action Alert – Ask Your US Rep to Fight Sexual Exploitation
Courts are misinterpreting Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act to allow websites which facilitate sex trafficking not to be held accountable. Worst yet was the First Circuit Court ruling in Doe v. Backpage which held that even if Backpage had participated in the crime of sex trafficking, Section 230 shielded the company from the claims filed by child victims! This misinterpretation must be stopped and Congress has a chance to fix it!
Action Alert – Super Bowl and Sex Trafficking
The Super Bowl is once again upon us. Super Bowl 52 between the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles will be this Sunday and along with the game will be sex traffickers determined to make a bundle of money.

What can you do to help stop this travesty?

We see increased sexual assault (i.e. child on child assault, teacher on student assault, babies being sexuall assaulted, campus rape culture etc), sex trafficking is on the rise, sexual addictions, etc. etc. We need to become educated on the harms of pornography!

Comcast is profiting from the sale of hardcore porn and they need to stop! Many states have passed resolutions recognizing porn as a public health risk. Studies and police reports increasingly show the connection between porn and sexual exploitation. Send Comcast the message that their sale of porn must stop!
Action Alert – May is Victims of Pornography Month
Americans are becoming desensitized to pornography. We live in a society that, by and large, has learned to ignore the Playboy magazine on the racks in the local convenience store, the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition at the local Walmart, the pornographic books at the local bookstores, the strip club along the road your child’s school bus travels every day, etc., etc. As we have become desensitized, it has emboldened those wanting to further sexualize our communities/nation and we can see the results through increased reports of rape, sexual assault and human trafficking. It is time for Christians to take action!
News Release – Arrest of Hazleton Man Points to Danger of Gender Identity Laws
