Your help is needed. After bringing you the sad truth of five year-old Shaniya who was sold into sex trafficking by her mother, and all the other newsletters about the victims of pornography, your help is needed to further come against those marketing sex. Working together, you and I can free the young girls, and make families stronger to protect our female children.   95 percent of all children abducted are little girls. Year-end donations, used as a tax exempt gift, are sought to bring about the hidden issues of the pimps, predators, and those selling or stealing our little girls, therein promoting, educating, and motivating familes and communties in morality and decency. If you think it's bad news now with all the little girls being abducted, what does the future hold?

When you invest $50, $25, or your best in Centers For Decency, expect that your gift is combined with those from literally hundreds of thousands of other like-minded persons to make a significant impact for our shared family values in morality. Our average gift is less than $30, but because we have power in numbers, we are able to be one of the most effective organizations representing your views anywhere, with one positive exception -- none of us are paid a salary for our quality work.  We are organized volunteers, meaning that all of your gift is used to promote morality and decency in family values.
