What Can I Do?

The only things necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

—Edmund Burke

• WRAP Week is from October 24 – November 1, 2009. During this time, choose at least one activity to help fight the influence of pornography on our communities.
• Have a Family Meeting to discuss this WRAP information from this blog. Distribute it elsewhere.
• Visit www.moralityinmedia.org to learn about wearing and ordering white ribbons, requesting anti-pornography proclamations from government leaders, providing clergy with information for sermons, requesting legal enforcement of obscenity laws, and making complaints about internet pornography.
• Visit www.strengthenthefamily.net for information on getting a child-friendly resolution passed by your local City Council and asking businesses to cover material not suitable for children.
• Join the Treasure Valley Chapter of American Mothers by participating in the WRAP week “Family-Friendly Shopping Week.” During the period of October 25 – November 1, 2009, shop only at stores that cover or remove material not suitable for children to see, such as Cosmopolitan magazines. In whatever way is most comfortable for you, respectfully let the store know why you won’t be shopping there during this week. You could visit the store manager in person, call on the phone, write a letter or email, or register a complaint on the corporate website. You can find the appropriate place to complain by searching online with “Contact us” and the name of the store. Be sure to also express gratitude to managers who are covering inappropriate material.
• Just do something—because our community’s kids are counting on us!
