#GivingTuesdayNow Because Families Matter More Than Ever
Dear Friend,
Imagine if you could go back and prepare your future self for what was
to come in March 2020 and the COVID-19 crisis. You probably would have
advised yourself to stock up on household goods, invested in a higher
speed internet service, and possibly sought advice from experienced
homeschooling families.
But most of us would probably not have imagined how Planned
Parenthood and the porn industry would pounce on the opportunity to
gain virtual access to our homes. We probably wouldn't have
thought to prepare for a time when America's churches were
physically closed (though still very much doing Kingdom work in new
ways).
Yet, here we all are in the midst of COVID-19, separated in our
homes, yet facing the same-though increased-threats to our
families, life and religious freedom.
The abortion industry increased its demand for virtual abortions so
that a woman never even has to enter a clinic to be examined-she
can visit with an abortionist via webcam and receive abortion pills by
mail from home.
Churches are not meeting to help stop the spread of the virus, yet
many are facing discrimination from state government officials using
the virus as a convenient excuse to quarantine religious freedom.
The porn industry is hoping to move into every home during the
shutdown by increasing access to its content, and Planned Parenthood
has even created a "chatbot" where teens can text their
sex and relationship questions from home-and receive answers
without a parent ever being involved.
In other words, Planned Parenthood and Big Pornography are working
hard to quietly enter your home through every device-while
church buildings mostly remain closed.
These threats to the family are very real-but the closed doors
of the churches don't prevent the family of believers from
joining together to advance godly values. Not even during a pandemic.
#GivingTuesdayNow offers an opportunity for us all to come together
in response to the great needs caused by the pandemic. This day of
global generosity will take place on Tuesday, May 5th. Together, we
can stand strong against these new threats to the family.
Family is at the very heart of Family Policy Alliance. That is why we
stand ready to alert the family of believers when these threats
arise-and equip them to take action!
Just this week, we rallied pro-life state lawmakers and likeminded
family policy organizations-and joined with other national
pro-life allies in unity-to call on federal officials to prevent
the abortion industry from skirting rules and expanding "virtual
abortion" during our current crisis.
In the past month, we've supported churches in multiples states
when government leaders have ignored or even harmed their religious
freedom rights in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. We did this by
equipping pastors and their congregations to work well with government
leaders for the good of their communities-and calling out
government leaders when they took actions that unfairly burdened
churches.
None of this is possible without you. Your prayers and support for
families, and family values, is felt even more deeply during a time of
crisis.
Next week, on #GivingTuesdayNow, will you take a stand for life, for
families, and for religious freedom?
#GivingTuesdayNow is only 4 days away-please prayerfully
consider a generous gift to support the family, and we'll make
sure you have the opportunity to do so next Tuesday!
For the family,
Autumn Leva
Vice President for Strategy
