GUMROAD IS BANNING NSFW CONTENT IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS

As of now, Florida and Kansas have passed bills that align with KOSA.

So many people have held back on speaking out against KOSA or signing petitions because "it probably won't pass." But we have proof that it very well can and will.

So what can we do right now?

The same thing we've been doing: bring awareness and protest.

Here are a few websites you can visit to sign petitions:

Good luck, everyone! Don't give up yet.
