This Must Stop: Speech at the March to Protect the Children, 3/30/18

On March 30, 2018, I spoke at the March to Protect the Children in downtown Salt Lake City. The march, which was organized in opposition to the Mormon church’s practice of sexually explicit “worthiness interviews” with minors, attracted around 1000 protestors. We started at the courthouse and marched several blocks to the church office building, where protest organizer Sam Young delivered fifteen copies of the book “Sacred Stories of Sacred Children” to the church’s top leadership body. The book contains personal testimonies of people who have been traumatized by the abusive practice of worthiness interviews.
