You deserve our thanks. Despite countless obstacles and restrictions, CitizenGO members like you fueled this year's powerful victories for life, family, faith, and freedom.
In the past year, we brought together millions of people from all over the world to make a difference.
The Radical Left and their allies have done so much in order to try to defeat us, to undermine our values, destabilize our families and dehumanize the most vulnerable: The unborn, the sick, and the elderly.
And they tried—desperately—to silence us, to ridicule us, to intimidate our colleagues and minimize our voices.
But every step of the way, you and I fought back. We rose up. We signed petitions. We held rallies. We protested. And (many times) we won.
As the old saying goes, "they tried to bury us. They didn't know we were seeds."
Our efforts—your efforts—helped deliver many remarkable victories.
And now that the year is coming to a close, I think it's important that we also take the time to appreciate the difference that we're making together.
WE PROVIDED 1,000,000 FACE MASKS DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS
Thanks to the selfless generosity of our supporters we were able to purchase 1,000,000 face masks and bottled water, and donated them to the hospitals and healthcare workers at the height of the pandemic.
Nurses, doctors, patients, healthcare workers, and first responders -- who served on the frontlines in the fight against Coronavirus were waiting for this type of assistance, and because of your support, it came through.
This successful campaign was a victory for our shared mission for the right to life.
Thank you that you are part of the CitizenGO family that works tirelessly to defend life. Whether it’s to defend pre-born babies, the elderly, the ill or most vulnerable, or healthcare workers -- “Every life is precious.”
WE PROTECTED THE UNBORD AT THE UN
While we were mobilizing people from all corners of world to save lives in midst of the COVID-19 crises, global forums like the United Nations’ International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) was misusing the pandemic as a cover to promote abortion!
They attempted to establish a global right to taxpayer-funded abortion on demand. After a lengthy, uncertain, and heated few weeks of negotiations at the UN, we emerged victoriously!
Global bureaucrats have absolutely no business attacking the sovereignty of nations that wish to protect pre-born babies.
Thank you for contributing to this historic win against radical leftists at the United Nations as they tried to push for abortion during the Coronavirus pandemic.
WE HELPED TO RESTORE WORSHIP AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION
Many around the world were required to seperate from our loved ones... and we also were required go without attending services at our places of worship... because of the pandemic lockdown.
Christians in many countries waited patiently, hoping that their Government would restore Sunday worship responsibly and gradually... but in many instances this was not the case.
Big box stores, strip clubs, and abortion clinics reopened... but not churches! The measures were inappropriate and excessive.
It was time to let ourselves be heard!
Thanks to you and hundreds of thousands of faithful around the world, we force governments to listen to our voices and lift the unfair restrictions on Sunday worship, while respecting social distancing measures and all necessary precautions.
The members of the political class in California and New York, Italy, France, Slovakia, Kenya, Australia and other countries heard us loud and clear. Sunday worship is at the heart of the Christian faith. It is a fundamental right for everyone to worship and to express their faith.
WELCOMED JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT TO THE BENCH
Remember that when Roe v. Wade is finally overturned, it started with this campaign.
Thanks to the many CitizenGOers who signed our petition to put pressure of the U.S. Senate to confirm a reliable pro-life advocate to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States -- Justice Amy Coney Barrett is in the right position to be the deciding vote to protect the unborn.
The rights of the unborn have been ignored for too long. We are now one person making one decision away from restoring them. It started with one signature, your signature, by one click of the mouse.
This year we went full speed:
- Over 1.5 million faithful used our platform to fight against the blasphemous movie “The First Temptation of Christ” on Netflix and join our impactful boycott campaign.
- We defended our brave colleagues Ann from Kenya and Caroline from UK, who faced intense legal and media bullying for their brave pro-life and pro-family activism as CitizenGO Campaigners.
- CitizenGO’s campaigns helped encourage U.S. President Donald Trump and other global leaders to withdraw public funding to the United Nation’s notorious World Health Organization (WHO). Our campaign to completely defund its radical gender and pro-abortion agenda continues across the globe.
- Our global election efforts opposed the Radical Left candidates, exposing politicians who claim to support our values but instead cower before our political enemies and the media.
- Dangerous law that would enable express removal of children from families was withdrawn after our massive mobilization in Russia.
- We contributed to landmark prolife victory in Poland that banned eugenic abortions. And stopped the abortion lobby that wanted to destroy existing legal protection for unborn babies in Mexico, Kenya, Peru, Ecuador, Malawi and Columbia.
- We stood firm with African countries like Nigeria, Kenya, Nambia, Uganda etc when the some Western governments spearheaded their pro-abortion campaigns.
- We contributed to a pro-family victory in Hungary. Not long after we had asked the Hungarian Government to protect children from LGBT indoctrination, the Government recommended a Constitutional amendment declaring that "the mother is a woman, and a father is a man"; and "Hungary protects the right of the children to self-identification according the gender at birth and provides education based on our country's constitutional identity and Christian culture".
- We delivered your signatures and took them to the floor, live, during the Disney shareholders’ annual meeting, demanding that the Disney CEO stop promoting the LGBT agenda and gender indoctrination. We are still running a long and intense campaign on this topic.
All these successful campaigns and many more - we had more than 60 victories for life, family and liberty this year - were possible only thanks to the strong support of engaged citizens like you and millions of our members from more than 50 countries.
We can all be rightfully proud of what we have achieved together.
But our work is far from finished. We still have an ambitious agenda for the year ahead.
To list just a few of the important projects we are either planning to or currently working on:
- Oppose and defund the radical pro-abortion and transgenderism agendas at the powerful United Nations and World Health Organization;
- Strengthen our ongoing fight to end gender ideology indoctrination at Disney;
- Stop the censorship of Christians, pro-Lifers, and the pro-Liberty voices on Social Media and other online platforms;
- Fight back against filthy, blasphemous, and transgender propaganda on popular streaming services like Netflix; and
- Continue to impact elections and legislation on behalf of life, family, and liberty.
We will do this no matter how powerful the forces are against us.
It's hard work. But that's the work we're accomplishing -- together.
Thank you for everything you helped accomplish in 2020 to make this world a better place. You’re making a real difference.
