#GivingTuesdayNow for America's Families & Their Values
Dear Friend,
It's Giving Tuesday! This global day of giving normally occurs
after Thanksgiving-but as we all know, this year has been far
from "normal," so Giving Tuesday is happening now.
#GivingTuesdayNow is an opportunity for believers to come together,
during a time of crisis, to support the causes and values you care
about most in a response to the needs caused by COVID-19.
COVID-19 shuttered family businesses and even barred children from
going to school. But the push to expand abortions, threats to
religious freedom, and the exploitation of the porn industry have not
stopped. And, in many cases, the threats have taken on a viral-like
quality themselves-becoming more virtual and creeping unseen
into nearly every home.
The abortion industry is pushing 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 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.
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!
But it is your voice, your prayers and your support that
empower every action taken to protect life, families and your values.
Here's a sample of what your support made possible just in the
last few weeks, even in the midst of COVID-19:
* Standing against the abortion industry during COVID-19: While
the abortion lobby has pushed to skirt the rules on telehealth
abortions ("telabortions," or abortions done without
a woman ever even setting foot in a clinic), we've been
fighting back. Family Policy Alliance has spearheaded multiple
letters to federal officials that affirm important
safeguards to protect women. We've also exposed Planned
Parenthood for asking for donations of valuable medical supplies
like masks and defying state shutdown orders.
* Speaking out against pornography: The pornography industry has a
track record of abuse, including illegal material that exploits
children. We've gathered thousands of signatures on a
petition to U.S. Attorney General Barr, asking him to
investigate and prosecute obscenity.
* Defending religious freedom: We've supported churches in
multiple states when government leaders have ignored or even
harmed their religious freedom rights in the midst of the
COVID-19 crisis, 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.
* Protecting girls' sports: In Idaho, we helped pass a
groundbreaking law that protects fairness in girls' sports
by ensuring only biological girls play in sports meant for
girls. The ACLU has challenged the requirement, and we're
working to ensure the state robustly defends this important
law-so that other states can follow Idaho's lead.
* Empowering parents to take action: We're rallying New
Jersey parents to take action against curriculum that promotes a
radical sexual ideology to children. We're sharing
materials and opportunities for these parents to make a
difference in their communities.
* Promoting parental rights: In some states, hospitals can order
the end of life-sustaining treatment for minors without parental
knowledge or consent. We wrote a law that prevents this tragedy
in Idaho, and we're working toward similar laws in other
states.
None of this would be possible without your partnership. Here at
Family Policy Alliance, we rely on the sacrificial gifts and prayers
of our ministry partners. That's why I hope you'll
give a generous gift on #GivingTuesdayNow today - to protect
your family and your faith from the increased threats caused by
COVID-19. [link removed]
