Dear John,

Happy Independence Day!

As we commemorate this 246^th anniversary of the Founding Fathers adopting the Declaration of Independence, we have even more to celebrate this year.

The Supreme Court's recent decisions to overturn Roe v. Wade and uphold the religious freedom of Coach Kennedy and every American to express their faith publicly provide powerful examples that despite the darkness in our culture, there is still hope for America when we stand firm together for truth!

I am grateful for your faithful prayers and partnership that made historic moments like this possible and are ensuring that our critical work will continue.

With your help, Family Research Council ended our fiscal year on June 30 strong and ready to seize new opportunities ahead, especially in light of these recent victories for life and religious freedom. Thank you!

But this isn't a time simply for victory laps. Believers now have a wide-open door to change hearts and minds, so we must redouble our efforts in every state to defend unborn babies and equip believers to impact their communities.

Unfortunately, we know that when we take a stand for life, family, and religious freedom, leftists in mainstream media, Big Tech censors, and the government are all too eager to silence us. This will only increase as the crazed Left responds with rage and lies to the Court's decisions that uphold the Constitution.

While the far Left intends to remove our shared values of faith, family, and freedom from the public square, they will never stop FRC from pursuing what is right and just.

For the sake of the next generation, we will counter their extremism at every turn.

You can count on FRC to fulfill our calling to voice your biblical values at the national, state, and local levels.

In fact, your partnership is already making a difference by accelerating FRC's PRAY, VOTE, and STAND strategy to stop the far Left's progressive agenda and save America's future.

• PRAY = fostering spiritual renewal with our Stand on the Word Bible reading plan, national Watchmen on the Wall pastors' network, and strategic prayer initiatives.

• VOTE = providing quality policy research and practical action steps to legislators and citizens as we track over 1,500 bills at the state and federal level every year.

• STAND = impacting the culture by equipping believers to stand on God's Word through our Center for Biblical Worldview, Stand Courageous men's ministry, Community Impact Teams, our brand-new news outlet The Washington Stand, and our daily nationwide broadcast, Washington Watch.

Thank you again for standing with FRC in this critical hour for our nation. Your membership support plays a vital role in ensuring our children and grandchildren live in a nation where all human life is valued, families flourish, and religious liberty thrives.

May we achieve even more great victories together for biblical truth in the days ahead as we obey and serve the Lord!

Your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
