What happened when more than 1,100 abstinence advocates gathered in the heart of Hollywood, California, to create change?
With sessions, receptions, activities, and meals designed to Spark Imagination, Challenge Status Quo, and Create Debate, Visions Expanded!
Hollywood will never be the same! We're back from the largest abstinence education gathering in the world which we had the pleasure of hosting in Hollywood. With sessions led by Presidential Advisor Claude Allen, author of Home Invasion Rebecca Haeglin, Dr. Howell Weschler from the Centers for Disease Control, and dozens more, attendees were given information and inspiration to spread the message of abstinence around the world.
Of significant interest at the conference was a petition put together and signed by youth from across the country asking movie executive to Cut the Smut! from Hollywood productions. The petition was presented at a press conference attended by National Public Radio, La Presse, The Daily Mail, POZ magazine, and many more. We are excited to see lives changed across the globe as a direct result of this conference.
But we aren't stopping there. We are now in full support mode, equipping abstinence educators around the world as they prepare to re-enter classrooms in just a few short weeks. From curricula review to questions about age-appropriateness and funding, our office is flooded with calls for help and we are glad to serve.
There has never been a more important time for the message of abstinence until marriage to be told. Thank you for caring about our nations youth.
