Dear John,

With Christmas only a few days away, this email will be brief, but I want to begin with two important words -- Thank You!

Your partnership -- with the Lord's blessing -- has made many achievements possible.

It was a significant 2020 victory when Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the Supreme Court. At Family Research Council, we are hopeful the newest Justice heralds future decisions upholding life, marriage, and religious liberty.

And thanks to President Trump, almost 230 originalist judges have been confirmed in the federal courts. With over 99 percent of cases decided in the lower federal levels, these judges are a breath of fresh air, especially since they will decide matters that affect your family, church, school, job, and community.

But the courts are not the only area in which we made significant gains this year. Thanks to your support:

• Working with the administration, FRC advocated for President Trump's pro-life executive order that reinforces existing protections for infants who survive abortion.
• At the federal level, FRC fought to protect life, family, and freedom in federal coronavirus relief bills. Our experts also provided analysis and testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Several senators even cited FRC's research and interactive maps (frc.org/prolifemaps) in their statements.
• At the state level, FRC tracked more than 1,600 state bills on life, marriage, religious liberty, parental rights, and related issues. Your advocacy and FRC expert testimonies before lawmakers were instrumental in the passage of dozens of policies.
• Across the nation, FRC expanded our new Stand Courageous initiative to challenge and equip men to be servant-leaders in their homes, churches, and communities. Through events, weekly devotionals, a mobile app, and more, we've reached over 10,000 men for Christ in the past year.

Because of you, FRC is advancing a biblical worldview! But we must stand ready.

These pro-family, pro-life, pro-freedom achievements will come under attack in 2021.

TAKE A STAND NOW

We must prepare now and be ready for the challenges ahead.

Will you commit to help FRC meet and surpass our critical year-end goal? We are just 10 days away from the deadline at midnight on December 31. But there is still time for your generous gift to be doubled -- dollar for dollar -- by the $2 Million Matching Challenge Grant.

Together, let's accomplish even more in 2021 for faith, family, and freedom!

Thank you and may the Lord bless you and your loved ones abundantly this Christmas.
