Dear John,

I’m finally home. And I can barely describe the mix of exhaustion and joy I’m feeling right now.

After two relentless months—non-stop action from start to finish—the UN’s Conference on Women (CSW) is done and dusted, at last.

I promised I'd sit down and share with you the full, behind-the-scenes story of what exactly happened inside those chaotic UN halls.

So here it is. You’re gonna love this …

YOU WON!

That’s right, John. You won. We won. But most importantly, LIFE WON!

And that’s why I sit here and write this to you with a smile on my face and a feeling of great accomplishment - excited to tell you all about it.

But before I dive in, you have to check out this video. They say a picture’s worth a thousand words—well, this video is worth a million.


Could you feel the energy? Let me tell you, it was even crazier than it looked. But we did it!

We stood face-to-face with one of the biggest, angriest, most aggressive abortion pushes we've ever seen at the United Nations—and we walked away with a WIN!

Universal access to abortion was NOT included in the final Political Declaration - that might sound technical, but it’s huge…

It means abortion access was not declared a universal right in a global UN document! 

That’s a serious blow to the radical lobby’s long-term agenda—and a win for life and family. Don’t forget, that’s their UN "blueprint" to shape global policy.

But believe me, it wasn’t easy.

The abortion lobby was fuming. After the Political Declaration was adopted, the radical feminists and abortion activists went absolutely wild. They couldn't believe their eyes.

When I last wrote to you I was leaving the UN after the concluding session. In that final meeting, where delegations delivered their closing remarks, they jeered, booed, and mocked every delegation who had the courage to stand up for life and disrupt their twisted agenda. 

It felt like a football match—cheering for abortion-friendly delegations, booing pro-life countries. Pretty insane for the "diplomatic" halls of the UN, right?

So inside, it felt like a political war zone. 

But that was nothing compared to what went on outside…

At one of our demonstrations outside the UN building, my dear colleague Lucia was literally assaulted. Yes, actually spat on —for daring to stand up for the unborn. 

If you didn’t see the video yet, it's worth checking out by clicking HERE. It shows exactly the type of people we are up against! 

Then there were our LED trucks—you know, the powerful mobile billboards we had circling the UN during the negotiations, spreading our pro-life message loud and clear. 

Well … radicals attacked the trucks too, vandalizing them, harassing our drivers, doing everything possible to intimidate us.

And then came probably one of the craziest moments for me personally: being detained by UN police just as the final session was concluding. Yes … my face says it all:


No joke. UN police literally took me and my colleagues into a backroom and interrogated us. The reason? Apparently, only messages "aligned with UN values" were allowed. … whatever that means.

The worst part was the reaction from the radical feminist activists—high fives, cheers, literal applause as we were escorted out. It felt like a twisted victory for censorship.

That’s how bad it got.

But guess what? Despite all this madness, fueled by your support, we never stopped.

We played in enemy territory and won - we hosted a powerful side event right inside the UN, alongside partner organizations—speaking truth to power and reminding delegates that life and family are not negotiable.


As you know, over these past two months, we sat down in countless meetings, face-to-face with crucial delegations—including players like Argentina, Italy, Libya, Burundi, Guatemala, Paraguay, and others who held significant influence over this year’s negotiations. 

Bit by bit, we saw the results:

  • Dangerous language like "universal access to abortion"—gone from the Political Declaration.
  • Sneaky loopholes—exposed and removed.
  • Attempts to embed radical gender ideology—successfully blocked.

And thanks to the courageous stand of many of these very countries, as well as their voting blocs—countries we met with directly, strategized with, and empowered—and thanks also to your signature and actions from the outside, dangerous pro-abortion language and gender ideology was successfully removed from the final Political Declaration! 

Precisely what we had set out to achieve, remember?


Incredible, right?

This wasn't an accident - this was a strategy in action fuelled by you, making a real difference at the highest level of decision making.

With your help, we built coalitions, exposed traps in the text, and watched as language began to shift in our favour. And this is the real, tangible difference YOUR support makes possible.

I won’t lie—it was exhausting. Probably the most intense two months I've ever experienced. But sitting here now, reflecting back, I can honestly say - it was worth every second.

Because this type of relentless, determined effort is exactly what it takes to defend life at the highest levels of decision-making.

Because, at the end of the day, if you and I don’t stand up and do this, WHO ELSE WILL?

So from the bottom of my heart, I just want to thank you. I know it’s been a rollercoaster. But you and I have made THE DIFFERENCE, in New York.

Two full months of prep. Ten days of madness. Dozens of attacks. But one massive win for LIFE!

YOU made this happen. And I’m so, so grateful that you were by my side, every step of the way. It’s an honor to fight alongside you.

Sebastian, Anna, Franco, Lucía, Daniela, Miriam, Matilde and the entire CitizenGO team

P.S. Our team just pulled off something truly MASSIVE. We stopped an abortion push that could have drastically changed history for the worse—defending life at the highest levels of the United Nations and securing a historic victory for the unborn!

But this win didn't come easy. My friend was assaulted, we were insulted, interrogated, our drivers harassed, and our LED vans were vandalized and seriously damaged by radical activists. At one point, I was genuinely worried for our team’s safety.


Sadly, now, we're facing unexpected and substantial repair costs to fix the damage done to our vehicles and equipment—expenses we weren't prepared for. If you're proud of what we've accomplished (and I really hope you are), could you chip in today to help us cover these costs, recover quickly, and gear up for our next critical battle?

Every dollar goes directly toward getting us back on our feet and ensures we’re ready to keep fighting for life, family, and freedom. Can we count on your support?
