Dear John,

This year has been challenging for sure; but by God’s grace and your partnership, here at Wisconsin Family Action, we have been more strategic and effective—and have accomplished more—than in any other election year.

As it has been for everyone, this year has been trying, exhausting for us as well and has demanded our very best; but together, thanks to your support and participation, we made great gains! (See our Top 10 Accomplishments below.) And to be clear, we could not do what we do without you. God grants us favor and blesses our work through you, your prayers, and your financial investment.

Now we must look ahead.

With only 4 days remaining in 2020, we are still short of achieving our Big Goal; BIGGER GOD year-end fundraising goal. Support at this time is critical because the new Wisconsin legislative session starts next week, and we need to be ready to be your voice for your values and hit the ground running.

We realize the economy has affected many families in Wisconsin. As much as some would want to, they are simply not able to invest in our necessary work at this time. If this applies to you, would you please pray for our ministry? (And know that we are praying for you as well.)

When the economy affects families, it also affects not-for-profit ministries such as Wisconsin Family Action and Wisconsin Family Council.

If God has protected and blessed you, would you prayerfully consider making as generous a year-end gift as possible? With many families unable to give, your generous year-end gift today will be that much more of a blessing!

We would not ask you to consider this if it were not important.

Your year-end gift will be used to strengthen and preserve God's plan for marriage and family and protect the sanctity of life and religious freedom in Wisconsin in this next legislative session.

As long as your gift is made ONLINE HERE or mailed and postmarked by 11:59 p.m., Thursday, December 31, 2020, it will count for 2020.

Together, let's build on the accomplishments of 2020 and be ready for 2021!

For families,
 
Julaine Appling
President

PS:  Thanks to your prayers and support this past year, here are our Top 10 Accomplishments from 2020!  Together we…

10)  Helped increase the conservative majority in the state Senate.  (Several of our PAC endorsed candidates won.)  
9)    Helped hold a strong conservative majority in the state Assembly. (Again, several of our PAC endorsed candidates won.)
8)    Significantly impacted the 2020 election making nearly 500,000 unique conservative voter contacts and influenced over 20,000 voters, who have a history of NOT voting regularly, to pledge to vote in this past election.
7)    Launched LEAD WI, our premier world-view training summer camp built on a civics platform for youth ages 13-19.
6)    Added an additional staff member to the Church Ambassador Network to be able to call on and minister to even more pastors and churches.
5)    Served over 700 Wisconsin churches, by, among other services, providing educational election-related materials to them.
4)    Launched “Lunch with a Purpose,” a series of free lunch-time ZOOM events with well-respected Christian speakers and leaders regarding cultural issues of the day.
3)    Held Governor Evers accountable when unconstitutional virus-related restrictions were put on churches for Easter weekend services and celebrations. 
2)    Hosted our first-ever candidate forum, inviting candidates for the WI Supreme Court this past spring. This was held in partnership with DaySpring Church in Pewaukee.
1)    Expanded our volunteer base by more than 400 new active volunteers! Our volunteer partners multiply our effectiveness and efficiency on key tasks!

Your support now will help us build on these successes and protect God's plan for marriage and family, the sanctity of life and religious freedom in the culture and in the new legislative session. Thank you again!
