See What Your Partnership has Accomplished in 2021! Dear Friend and Supporter, 2021 has been a whirlwind, with threats to Judeo-Christian values, religious liberty, the family, life, and liberty coming from many directions, but the principles we are called to steward have not changed. Because of your faithful partnership, Citizens for Traditional Values has remained steadfast in our mission of training and mobilizing citizen-statemen to contend for godly values in our local communities, in Lansing, and in Washington, D.C. In 2021 CTV built its team in order to expand our impact! In the fall, we welcomed Eileen McNeil as the new President bringing her extensive experience in the political and private sectors to CTV. In early December we were excited to bring Luke Mason on board as our new Director of Administration and Communications. With James strategic counsel, Julie’s skills as finance director, and Katie’s expertise on advocacy and our social media/web we have a strong team in place that will allow us to RUN with our strategic programs that we seek to ignite in 2022 throughout the state. Your partnership with us makes it all possible and below is a snapshot of how you’ve made an impact this year!  Education Our educational programs empower citizen-statesmen with tools to use their voice effectively. This year, our Political Leadership Academy trained nearly 40 Michigan legislators, candidates, and activists from across the state with tools to help them incorporate Judeo-Christian values and Constitutional principles of good governance as the foundation of their public service. We published updated Resources for Engaged Christian Citizenry, including Biblical Principles for Public Policy and our Church Liaison Manual. Our bi-weekly digital newsletter, The CTV Memo, regularly reports on current public policy issues relating to Christian people, while our social media content teaches the godly values behind our system of limited, constitutional government in accessible, easily digestible posts. Advocacy We promote the proper role of government, advocate for election integrity, defend freedom in education, and stand to protect the lives of the unborn. CTV continues to be a powerful voice advocating for traditional values in our state capitol and throughout Michigan. In the last year, we organized grassroots activists to write letters and make phone calls on seven critical legislative issues concerning our core values. CTV encouraged our supporters, along with our staff, to testify in the Michigan Redistricting hearings that will affect our legislative districts for the next decade! Political Action The CTV Political Action Committee endorses candidates and policy that align with our vision and mission. This year, our staff focused on local issues of good governance and education, providing training and resources to candidates. Looking Ahead We are in the midst of ramping up our Pews to the Polls program and other tools to be a vital resources in the 2022 election cycle. CTV will be collaborating with local churches and grassroots activists to engage people of faith in restoring biblical representation in every branch of government, while working with current legislators to advance principled public policy. Our team will continue to train, endorse, and support candidates with godly values and will distribute comparative, issue-based voter guides in key districts, in order to restore good governance and preserve our God-given freedom.
