Anti-Pornography Training, Austin, January 2008
Stop Porn Culture is planning our second training on how to present our feminist anti-pornography slideshow.
The training will be held at the University of Texas in Austin, January 25-27, 2008. It will start at 5PM on Friday and finish up at noon on Sunday. We are asking for a $50 donation to cover our costs, but this can be waived for those who need it. Limited scholarships for travel and expenses are available.
Come and get the experience, knowledge, and confidence to talk publicly against pornography in your community. The training will include some in-depth presentations on topics such as:
- background on the economic industry that is pornography
- First Amendment and other free speech issues
- women in the industry
- the question of “alternate” images
We will also have a long session of practicing Q & As in small groups. The training will end with a session on self-care for presenters and activists since, as many of you know, this work can be grueling.
The slideshow is our first line of offense in the battle we must wage to reclaim this culture from the misogyny, racism and brute power of the pornographers. Come join us in our struggle for a violence-free world.
