Intact America is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007. It was founded by Georganne Chapin, a corporate CEO and intactivist.
Mission: Intact America fulfills its mission by challenging social and sexual norms and by advocating for the health and wellbeing of all children and the adults they will become. They do this through creative messaging, advocacy, education, public policy reform, and the empowerment of their supporters, partners and volunteers.
Vision: Intact America envisions a world where children are free from medically unnecessary surgeries carried out on them without their consent in the name of culture, religion, profit, or parental preference.
Intact America is an advocacy organization seeking to end circumcision in America, and to ensure healthy sexual futures for all people.
Intact America (IA) was registered to exhibit at the 2012 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) convention "trade show" in New Orleans, Louisiana. However the AAP revoked Intact America's registration over concerns that IA's presence would exacerbate the controversy over the AAP's recently released 2012 circumcision policy statement. IA then organized a protest of the AAP which attracted intactivists from across the America to demonstrate at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The protest was the place were the intactivist protest group Bloodstained Men was conceived.
The Circumcision Debate is Intact America's entry-level companion website designed for non-intactivists to better understand the issues.
Intact America has no chapters and is not affiliated with other groups imitating its name [e.g. Intact (geographic name)].
