On Monday at 8:32 p.m., Politico published the draft opinion that shook the world.
Family Policy Alliance team members, in Colorado and scattered around the nation, were mostly at home with their families. But within minutes, they were off and running – and have hardly slowed down since.
Here’s a quick and very abbreviated look at what your support made possible in this momentous week: - Team members quickly formulated a response to the leak for social media and the press—and shared that with our state allies
-
By 11 p.m. Eastern, as WORLD magazine reported, we were hosting a Twitter Space meeting for state and national pro-life leaders

That’s a lot – and you did it through your support of Family Policy Alliance.
Of course, other issues didn’t stop. In the meantime, we were still busy on things like the Biden Administration’s Title IX rule on “gender identity” and an HHS proposal to force coverage of transgender procedures – plus continuing state legislative battles.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this vital work possible! If you’d like to invest in our work next week and beyond, we’d be grateful. May God bless our continued work together. |
