Fight the New Drug

Fight the New Drug (FTND) is an American anti-pornography 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 2009. It claims to focus on educating youth and raising awareness on what they consider the harmful effects of pornography. They are primarily known for billboard campaigns saying that "porn kills love" and selective citation of research studies, which are contested by mainstream scientists. The group was founded and is headed by Mormons but claims a non-religious identity and motivation. 2History According to the organization, its name derives from its belief that pornography is the new drug in today's society. 2Overview Fight the New Drug defines itself as "pro healthy sex and anti-pornography." Its mission is to educate and raise awareness on its findings, as well as sharing the personal experiences of those who have been affected in their relationships and generally. The organization uses personal accounts, summaries of scientific research and social commentary to educate its target audience of youth, particularly millennials. It does not seek to ban pornography or make it illegal, or argue against its use through moral or theological arguments, but to inspire and enable youth to cease consuming pornography through education and awareness. The organization promotes the results of peer-reviewed scientific studies which show changes in the brain of an individual when viewing pornographic material, though the selected studies have been contested. 2Support In May 2015, actor Terry Crews posted a picture on his social media channels promoting Fight the New Drug and wearing the organization's popular "Porn Kills Love" T-shir
