** FROM THE PRESIDENT
------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Friend,

As we approach the 4^th of July, EPPC is dedicated to reminding America’s leaders of the principles on which our great country was founded: that we are one nation under God, that we are created equal with inalienable rights, that human law must embody natural and eternal law in order to be just.

With the support of our generous donors, EPPC crafts the arguments and policies needed to uphold the principles of the American Founding, religious freedom, and human dignity in the crucial public debates of our era.

This work is urgently needed. In March, the Wall Street Journal reported that support for patriotism, religion, community involvement, work, and having children have all declined precipitously over the past several decades.

The abandonment of religion, family, and patriotism is an unmistakable sign of the times, and an illustration of just how much work there is to do both shaping our laws justly and re-forming our citizens for virtuous self-government.

To this end, EPPC scholars engage leaders at all levels of civil society through scholarship, policy analysis, model legislation, and amicus briefs on the long-term, civilizational issues that matter for human dignity, identity, and flourishing. In an anti-human age, EPPC scholars defend a full and true account of human nature and foster a culture in which that nature can thrive.

You can read below to see some of our significant publications from the past few days, as an example of the vital work EPPC is doing to renew our country.

Indeed, this work is more important than ever, and with the 4^th of July a week away, I hope you will partner with us to continue advancing this mission.

Friend will you make a tax-deductible gift of $100, $200, or even $500 today ([link removed]) , to help us advocate for the true dignity of the human person, our nation’s founding tradition of ordered liberty, and the biblical orthodoxy which once animated American culture?

Any amount you can give ([link removed]) will help us promote the truth—in policy and culture—and recall our country to the timeless principles on which she was founded.

You can further participate in our mission by sharing this appeal with your friends on social media!
