Encouraging News and a Word from our CEO
Dear John,
Today, we are pleased to share with you not one but two encouraging
developments from the past week.
First, some of you joined us last night for our first ever LIVE
Q&A with CEO Craig DeRoche.
During this special time, Craig shared his background, his vision for
Family Policy Alliance, and his encouragement for Christians as we
head into 2021.
Thank you to the many of you who participated!
If you weren't able to make it, we encourage you to check out
the recording on YouTube.

Watch to find out:
* Who is Craig? What is his personal testimony of faith?
* Why should Christians who aren't lawyers or policy
professionals engage in public policy issues? What can you do
now to make a difference?
* What are Family Policy Alliance's top priorities in the
coming year?
* What encouragement does Craig have for Christians in 2021?

But that's not all! Last week, a Congressional Democrat
introduced pro-life, pro-woman legislation - and that means
we're making progress.
Throughout this year, we've shared with you how House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi has stonewalled various bills in Congress designed to
protect life and protect children from the transgender agenda.
Those bills include the Born Alive Survivors Protection Act, which
would require healthcare professionals to provide appropriate medical
care for babies who survive botched abortions, and a bill that would
reserve girls' sports for biological girls.
Despite gaining significant numbers of cosponsors, both bills have
languished -- but that wasn't the end of the story.
Last week, something remarkable happened.
In her final days before retiring from Congress, U.S. Rep. Tulsi
Gabbard (D-Hawaii) - who also ran for the Democratic
presidential nomination earlier this year - introduced two bills
nearly identical to the ones previously introduced by Reps. Ann Wager
(R-Missouri) and Greg Steube (R-Florida).
At first glance, while it's encouraging that a Democrat
congresswoman would support these efforts, there's more at play
here.
Gabbard could easily have simply cosponsored the existing bills
- yet she chose to make a much bigger statement. By introducing
a similar set of bills, she demonstrated that protecting babies who
survive abortions and ensuring that female athletes compete on a fair
playing field have gained traction in our culture.
Family Policy Alliance has long believed that these two issues should
be non-partisan, commonsense proposals that attract widespread support
from both major political parties and both genders.
That's why earlier this year, we and our allies at Family Policy
Alliance of Idaho worked together to pass the Fairness in
Women's Sports bill into law. That first-of-its-kind law led to
our Save Girls Sports campaign, which underscores our ongoing
commitment to advance policy that will protect our children and
grandchildren from the transgender agenda.

And as we look ahead to the coming year, protecting life remains at
the top of our list of priorities - and it is gaining ground.
With your ongoing biblical citizenship and prayers, we will see
progress in 2021 to protect babies and female athletes in our nation.
Standing for the family,
Sonja Swiatkiewicz
