canes in the dark

John,

These are dark days for our nation.

The political divide grows deeper by the day—as evidenced by day 13 of our government shutdown. And this division is not without victims.

Charlie Kirk made it his mission to bridge our national divide. His determination to speak truth and welcome his adversaries to the table cost him his life—a tragic reminder of what it can mean to stand for truth in today’s America.

Here at Family Policy Alliance, we haven’t faced persecution on that level—but we have seen the growing hostility firsthand.

In recent weeks, several of our staff have received hate mail at their personal homes—attempts to bully us into silence or frighten us into backing down.

But we will not be silenced.

As Charlie once said, “When the discourse stops, the violence starts.” We refuse to retreat from the public square. The truth is too important, and the next generation is depending on us to hold the line.

Not only that, it’s clearly spiritual warfare behind what we see happening in our country—warfare that demands prayerful and bold action in response.

And that’s exactly what we’re doing.

Our work to unite and rally socially conservative organizations across the nation—from Turning Point USA and the Heritage Foundation to Focus on the Family and our network of state-based Family Policy Councils—is helping America’s faith-based movement stand stronger than ever.

We’re seeing real impact:

  • Help Not Harm is protecting vulnerable children.
  • Save Girls Sports is preserving fairness for female athletes.
  • Age Verification Laws are shielding kids from online exploitation.
  • The App Store Accountability Act is holding Big Tech accountable.

But to continue this work, we need your help.


The next legislative season is right around the corner, and we must ensure that we have the funds needed to continue fighting for parental rights, religious freedom, protecting children from harm (including the unborn), and so much more. To make that possible, our goal is to raise $30,000 by midnight on Friday, October 17.

 

Your generous support is the kerosene in the lantern, enabling the light of liberty and Truth to shine even brighter in the face of this ever-present darkness. Will you give whatever you can today?

Give Now

For Truth,

Craig Signature

P.S. Friday at midnight is coming fast. Every dollar helps push back the darkness and keep the light shining. Stand with us today—because the darkness has not, and will not, overcome it.
