DRW presents a workshop on how to write a submission tonight! Livestreaming at 6pm, but the primer will remain online to watch once the live stream has ended.

DRW & EFA Present How to Write a Policy Submission

If you are concerned about shaping our online experience in a way that DOESN’T deprive consenting adults of their freedoms of expression, especially around sexuality, then please take the time to make a submission!

If you are concerned and angry about having your private messaging and activities on the internet scrutinized and sanitized, make a submission!

If you disagree that sex is INHERENTLY HARMFUL please make a submission!

If you think that consenting adults SHOULD BE ABLE to watch, read, and engage in discourse what they choose to, please make a submission!

I will be continuing to add to this blog with resources and updates leading up to the submission date.
