Last night, America received news of the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her family, friends, and loved ones are deserving of the nation's condolences.
Executive Director Jessica Anderson released a statement <[link removed]> calling for "the swift nomination and confirmation of a new justice" and affirming that "Conservatives will not waver in our support and resolve for a speedy and fair process."
Fight for America
Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson joined Fox & Friends <[link removed]> this week to announce the launch of pro-police billboards in cities across America.
“Americans want safety, security and a clear vision for how to quell the violence...you cannot have peace without the police,” Anderson said. “These cities are facing rising violence, deep cuts to public safety, and the resignation of their top police officers. This is a time for all citizens and leaders to come together to support the important work and sacrifices of our law enforcement officers and push back against the Left’s campaign to defund the police.”
To that end, Heritage Action placed 7 billboards <[link removed]> in cities where the “defund the police” movement is taking hold: New York City’s Times Square, Atlanta, and Dallas. Our message is simple: No Police, No Peace.

The billboards are already grabbing lots of media attention and helping us rally support for police. Millions of people will see these billboards and their impact in the coming weeks!
Heritage Action in the News this week:
Jessica Anderson went on America First with Sebastian Gorka <[link removed]> to discuss Heritage Action’s Fight For America campaign – our Police Pledge, billboard campaign, and reaching out to swing voters on the issues.
Bill O’Reilly <[link removed]> talked with Jessica about our “No Police, No Peace” billboard campaign and how cities can curb skyrocketing crime by allowing police to do their jobs.
Jessica writes in American Greatness, “Enter at Your Own Risk <[link removed]>” without police.
Rebekah Warwick, Heritage Action’s central regional coordinator, writes in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram <[link removed]> that, “American communities are safer with police than without,” and, “elected leaders’ failure to support our police has dire consequences.”
Heritage Action released a statement with The Heritage Foundation warning that Facebook’s credibility is on the line <[link removed]> for allowing its "fact-checking" program to be gamed by political partisans after PolitiFact justified labeling an ad campaign by the American Principles Project as "missing context" by arguing, “we can’t predict the future” – thereby preventing the ads from running on the social network.

Fight for America Stories
It’s not just the media taking notice of our billboards! People seeing the billboards have been posting about them on social media and spreading the message:
Savannah, GA ‘Back the Blue’ rally
Sentinel Jeanne Seaver and her group organized a “Back the Blue” event in Savannah to honor men and women in law enforcement. They held a raffle and sold “Back the Blue” t-shirts, donating the proceeds to the Two Hundred Club of the Coastal Empire that provides immediate financial assistance to surviving spouses and children of local law enforcement officers and firefighters who lost their lives in the line-of-duty while protecting their communities.
‘BBQ for BLUE’
Sentinels in Lawrenceburg, Indiana held a BBQ event to raise money <[link removed]> for local charities Safe Passage and Cops & Kids, who partner with their local police. They sold to-go lunches as a fundraiser and passed out Heritage Action’s Back the Blue yard signs. If you’d like yard signs to distribute, contact your regional coordinator <[link removed]>.
Sentinels registering voters
Heritage Action Sentinels Jeanne Melendez, Denny Kalk, and Jeanette Rhodes Kalk registered voters <[link removed]> and passed out Heritage pocket constitutions at a rally and candidate forum in Atkins, Texas over the weekend. A great reminder that one way to Fight for America is to vote for America!
The Police Pledge
Over 100 Republican members of Congress and 130,000 citizens have now signed the Heritage Action Police Pledge! Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) posted a video <[link removed]> saying, “I have signed the Heritage Action pledge, and I encourage all others to do the same,” adding, “I think it’s important that all members of the House...and Senate, and any elected members in any capacity, let the people know where they stand.” Senators Martha McSally (R-AZ) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) also added their names to the pledge this week.
