For women who live in:
California, Colorado, Connecticut , Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington.
Please ask your legislators to introduce an Online Age Verification Liability Act in your state by completing the online action linked above!.
The Online Age Verification Liability Act would mandate the use of age verification measures on websites that contain adult sexual content. This Act would make it much more difficult for minors to access pornography, which they often do accidentally at very young ages. Consequences of pornography exposure in children and adolescents include more sexist attitudes, sexual aggression, risky sexual behaviors, higher rates of eating disorders, depression, low self-esteem, and reduced academic performance.
Age-verification bills introduced in other states have performed very well across political divides; for example in Louisiana, with only 1 dissenting vote in the House and 0 in the Senate.
Thank you for taking action in defense of women and children!
o/Activism is a circle for sharing various calls to action for feminist causes, including petitions, fundraisers, letter-writing or call-in campaigns, etc.
The call to action should be clear from the post itself. Do not post links to news/articles and then write about what to do about them in the comments. Instead, make a text post with the action to take described in the post, and then include any links to news/articles in the text post. Posts that are links should only be links to pages that include calls to action in them, or are relevant, current activism resources. No one should be left wondering "but what am I to do about it?" after reading a post.
Image posts are only enabled for event fliers and advertisements of feminist groups. No other images are allowed.
Personal or action-inspiring activism reports may be appropriate here, subject to mod discretion. This is not a discussion circle but a call to action circle, so the activism report needs to contribute to calling others to action. In general, it's a better idea to use the feminist discussion circles listed below.
Activism groups that are friendly to gender critical feminists can also be advertised here. However, advertisements for Discord chat rooms or other private groups must be pre-approved by /o/Activism moderators before you post. Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
This circle is about accomplishing specific feminist goals. If you want to discuss ideologies, current events, debates, articles, or news, use other circles such as /o/WomensLiberation or /o/GenderCritical. If you are posting a specific event, you probably want to post to /o/FeministEvents as well.
