Looking Ahead to 2021!
Dear Friends,
As the year comes to a close, many people are ready for the end of
2020 and looking ahead to 2021 - perhaps you're among
them. Here at Family Policy Alliance, we're looking ahead, too!
You may have seen an email introducing me earlier this week as the new
President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance. I'm honored to be
part of this great ministry. If you haven't had a chance to
"meet" me yet, you can find out more about me here.

Alliance has some exciting plans for 2021! Watch this video or read on

1. Continuing to build and support the network of Family Policy
Councils.
As you may know, one major component of our work at Family
Policy Alliance® is supporting and working with state-based
pro-family policy organizations, including 32 independent
Family Policy Councils (FPCs). These organizations selflessly
serve the people of their state by promoting godly, pro-family
policy in state governments, and we are honored to call them
friends.
In recent years, we at Family Policy Alliance have worked to
build up 8 additional state-based organizations. In the coming
year, we hope to help some become independent FPCs, with the
goal of all 8 eventually taking that step!
That means that 40 states have family policy organizations
representing your values at the state level. Eventually, we
would love to have all 50 states represented by an FPC. If your
state is one of the 10 that does not have an FPC and you would
be interested in starting or supporting one, please let us
know.
Check our list HERE.

2. Growing Family Policy Foundation's Statesmen Academy.
[link removed]
Our c(3) sister organization, Family Policy Foundation®, is
the home to the Statesmen Academy?. This is a program and
community that trains and supports dedicated Christians who
feel called to elected office. This hand-selected group of
individuals receives detailed training on how to live out their
faith in the public square, as well as the nuts and bolts of
politics and policymaking. After they "graduate"
the training, Statesmen receive ongoing support through
community and practical policymaking tools.
This year, 55 of our Statesmen ran for office and 52 were
elected - some to a higher office than before!
In 2021, we hope to significantly grow the reach and impact of
our Statesmen Academy: stay tuned for updates!
3. Continuing to grow our alliance-based work at the national
level.
Family Policy Alliance accomplishes much of its work at the
state level. Often, though, an issue that we work on in one
state is also an issue in another state. This gives us a unique
opportunity to work on the same issue in multiple states, with
various FPCs, state legislators, and other allies. It also
allows us to take those lessons to Washington, D.C., where we
work with several national partners to influence national
policy discussions.
We are eager to continue growing our influence in that arena in
2021!
That's just a glimpse of how we plan to partner with you in
2021. Together, we will continue to advance our vision of a nation
where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive,
and life is cherished.
Sincerely,
Craig DeRoche
President and CEO
