Dear Friend,

EPPC fills a crucial role in American public life by recruiting the best thinkers in America to engage both religious and secular disciplines to bear witness to the truths most essential to human flourishing.

Over forty-five years ago, the founders of the Ethics and Public Policy Center wrote in our charter document:

“Ethics and politics in our time are often seen as separate spheres which make contradictory claims on citizens and statesmen alike. . . The Ethics and Public Policy Center affirms the moral validity and political relevance of the great Western ethical imperatives—respect for the human person, individual freedom, social justice, and the rule of law. It also affirms the necessity for moral reasoning and empirical calculation in discussing and deciding public issues. . . This calls for a continuous effort, explicit or implicit, to relate the facts of a policy decision to its economic, political and human costs and consequences.”

True to our founding purpose, EPPC is committed to ensuring that our laws and culture alike reflect sound morality. To this end, our scholars make the substantive case for the truth, and for public policies that reflect the natural law, in key contemporary debates that touch upon those “great Western ethical imperatives”—including abortion, marriage, gender ideology, Critical Race Theory, and Big Tech’s predatory practices towards children.  

Our scholars advance human dignity in the face of these challenges through scholarship, policy analysis, model legislation, and interventions in court cases and regulations.

While we joyfully prepare to celebrate Christmas in a few days, I hope you’ll consider supporting EPPC with a tax-deductible gift before the end of the year.

Your generosity makes possible our work to ensure that natural law and respect for the dignity of human life is faithfully expressed in our laws and culture.
