Dear John,
You are well aware of the opposition we face today as believers in the public square. Perhaps you have even been the target of ridicule or felt intimidated to stand up for biblical values.
The Left's threats aim to shame us into silence. And many sadly seem to be caving in to the pressure.
Breaking news just days ago revealed that not only has Chick-fil-A abandoned donations to Christian groups including the Salvation Army, it has donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) -- one of the most extreme anti-Christian groups in America!
As you know, Family Research Council's mission is to magnify your voice here in Washington, D.C. which then reverberates all across America. We have been standing strong for you and others with like-minded values for 36 years.
Together, we will not shrink back into the shadows or go silent on the defining issues of our day. The opposition just strengthens our resolve to stand firm for the truth.
Your support provides the resources for our front-line work impacting the culture for Christ. From providing policy research to understand the issues, shaping the narrative and debate through multi-channel communications, developing resources to educate policy makers and supporters, motivating people towards action and involvement, and equipping pastors and church leaders to impact their communities -- your partnership makes this happen.
As you've probably heard, tomorrow is #GivingTuesday -- an international day of giving to nonprofit causes.
Thanks to generous friends of Family Research Council, you don't have to wait to invest in furthering the pro-faith, pro-family, and pro-freedom values you and I share.
That's because we are kicking off #GivingTuesday early with a $100,000 challenge match!
DOUBLE YOUR GIFT
That means your generous gift will be combined with the challenge funds to have twice the impact in helping FRC advance what is good and true -- and push back against unrelenting attacks on the biblical values that are important to families like yours, John.
You see it in the news every day, the Left's gospel has become: When religious liberty and sexuality conflict, religious liberty should never win.
Recently, I've been sharing details about a House hearing where liberals in Congress called for FRC and other groups to lose our tax-exempt status.
The reasoning they gave?
These Christian entities are designated "hate groups" by activists at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Their mission is clear: to silence and marginalize our biblically grounded views.
Incensed by our unyielding biblical stances on marriage and human sexuality, the SPLC will never stop smearing FRC and other Bible-believing groups.
But we will not be intimidated -- we will NOT be silenced.
As that congressional hearing shows we have a long way to go until every American is free to live out their faith without fear of government retribution!
Will you stand with us to stop our opponents from taking biblical voices like yours and FRC's out of the battle of ideas in the public square?
Then please, take advantage of the special $100,000 challenge match to double the impact of your investment in FRC this #GivingTuesday.
Whatever amount you can give will make a difference in our shared mission to defend and advance religious liberty. Thank you!
