It's not enough for our sons to know better. They have to be willing to do something when the guy next to them doesn't.

Courage isn't only refusing to cause harm -- it's refusing to allow it.

----

To start teaching children -- girls and boys alike -- from a young age about the need to respect others and their personal boundaries, we recommend "Let's Talk About Body Boundaries, Consent, and Respect" for ages 4 to 7 at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9781925089189 (Bookshop) and https://amzn.to/3Tde4ep (Amazon)

For an excellent book for older kids on this topic, we recommend "Consent (for Kids!)" for ages 6 to 10 at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9780316457736 (Bookshop) and https://amzn.to/4z7WsQk (Amazon)

For three powerful picture books that teach children about the importance of standing up as a bystander when they see someone being mistreated, we recommend: "I Walk With Vanessa: A Story About a Simple Act of Kindness" for ages 4 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/i-walk-with-vanessa), "Dare!" for ages 4 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/dare), and "Trouble Talk" for ages 6 and up (https://www.amightygirl.com/trouble-talk)

There is also a helpful guide for teens on topics such as consent and coercion, "Real Talk About S*x and Consent: What Every Teen Needs to Know," for ages 13 and up at https://www.amightygirl.com/real-talk-about-sex-and-consent

For adults, anti-sexist educator Jackson Katz is the author of a new book "Every Man: Why Violence Against Women Is a Men's Issue, and How You Can Make a Difference" at https://bookshop.org/a/8011/9798765157138 (Bookshop) and https://amzn.to/4n7PCp5 (Amazon)

It's that time of year again! We're preparing to assemble birthing kits in October and need supplies to do it! Birthing Kits are assembled and distributed to women in developing countries before they give birth so that when they do go to deliver their baby they can do so in a clean environment.
If you'd like to help us you can go to our Amazon Wish List and supplies will be delivered directly to our Club President!!
Here's a link to the list:
