Mission
CCRI's mission is to raise awareness about online harassment and advocate for technological, social, and legal reform. CCRI prefers the term "nonconsensual pornography" to "revenge porn" and considers it a form of sexual abuse.
History
In August 2012, after struggling for years as a victim of revenge porn, Holly Jacobs started an online campaign, End Revenge Porn (ERP), which advocated for the criminalization of revenge porn. She teamed up with legal experts and anti-revenge porn advocates Mary Anne Franks, Charlotte Laws, and Danielle Citron and, in 2013, incorporated all of her advocacy work into the nonprofit organization, CCRI.
