Top 20 of 2020


It's been quite the year of challenges, and we have dearly missed seeing you all in person. First our early 2020 expos were postponed, and then Genital Integrity Awareness Week was put on hold, followed by the need to delay our next SOS Odyssey (traveling pro-intact rallies across the nation), and so many more expos, fairs, community baby showers, and the hundreds of events we host booths at in a typical year. We miss you! And we miss the in-person baby-saving! 

But through the challenges, we have persevered and looked for new ways we could meet people where they are at, get materials into the hands of as many families expecting babies as possible this year, and continue the life-change going forward. We know that despite the hiccups of 2020 -- and sometimes even because of them -- thousands more families have been reached, and babies have been born this year who will remain happily intact for a lifetime. Cycles are breaking. Minds are changing. Hearts are opening. And we're becoming an intact nation once again. Thank YOU for being a part of this important work we do. 

We cannot wait until we can serve together again side by side in person - at the expos and on the streets! 'Till then, we have gathered the Top 20 Most Read items at Saving Our Sons during 2020. Check out those you missed, share your favorites, and pass on the love we pray comes through in our intact advocacy and education. 💜 If you'd like to write for SavingSons, or contribute a piece that you've previously written, email SavingSons@gmail.com with a copy or link to your article. We welcome new voices in the movement, and value a diverse range of collaboration for the cause.

If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were an Intact Advocate Alive Today...




Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today - a leader who shared countless wise thoughts, and led a revolution in social change. 

What would he say if he were alive today to witness the treatment of so many newborn babies,
born of all skin colors in the United States?

Would he have thoughts on the continued lies pushed upon African men and women today? Or the myths that surround Black American families -- with pressures to cut their baby boys.

We can only speculate, but his words lend insight.

U.S. Flags with Intact Info Needed for GIAW, Washington D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival


1500 hand-held U.S. flags are needed to pass out during Genital Integrity Awareness Week in Washington D.C. this year. Each flag has 2 patriotic-themed intact information sticker stapled to it (one per side) for awareness raising during this week. This year we will have "Defend HIS Freedom" on one side and "Watch American Circumcision on Netflix" on the other side of each individual flag.

Flags are *very* popular in Washington D.C. during the Cherry Blossom Festival, National Kite Festival, at the U.S. Capitol lawn, and at the White House where we march to on Saturday. We could pass out far more than 200 flags per day, but this is our goal to raise funding for, along with an extra 100 for the GIAW March (1500 total).

Frequently, chaperoned groups who will not allow students to take other intact materials from GIAW leaders will allow them to accept and take home flags (getting intact info into their hands)! It is very important to have enough of these U.S. flags (with stickers attached to each one) for every day during GIAW, and for use during the march.

At Amazon, flags are approximately $29 per set of 100. If you are able to sponsor one full day ($58), or one 1/2 day ($28) worth of flags OR any number of flags, small or large, we THANK YOU for your involvement and support of these pivotal GIAW items! To chip in here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=CA3SNG55J4MDU&source=url

Or via mail to:

GIAW / Saving Our Sons
P.O. Box 1302
Virginia Beach, VA 23451

Sponsors will be listed here and at the permanent GIAW site by first name / last initial only, for privacy, or with your business name and link if you'd like to include this. If you would like to cover one specific day, the march, or stickers, please mention this in a note.

Intact Info Flags for tourists headed to the U.S. Capitol


Virtually ALL passerbys request a flag or two to take home with them -- until we run out of supplies.

GIAW Intact Info Flags

Kids love to hand out flags during GIAW too!

Group of students takes home flags, bracelets, and cards from the U.S. Capitol during Genital Integrity Awareness Week 2019.

Many tourists stop to talk at the U.S. Capitol and take home a flag and information.

U.S. Flags with intact information attached are the perfect item to take home from a visit to the Capitol during Genital Integrity Awareness Week!

During GIAW at the Capitol we repeatedly hear, "I didn't know that..." while sharing information respectfully and providing materials for tourists to take home with them.

Even if someone is too timid to come up and chat, they can grab a flag with intact info to take along and read on their bus...
