Dear Reader,
 
We’re a bit more than halfway through the online portion of our year-end campaign to raise $500,000 by the close of 2019. We’ve had a tremendous response so far, but we still have a ways to go.
 
Will you help us meet our goal by making a gift today?
 
2019 was a strong year for First Things. Articles in the Atlantic and the New Yorker, among others, identified First Things as the leading source of new thinking for the conservative movement. We promote a solidarity-oriented conservatism, one that recognizes the need to strengthen the ties that bind us together as a nation.
 
Our voice is needed now more than ever.
 
Next year is an election year. There will be many debates about who we are as a country and where we should be going. Throughout it all, you can count on First Things to be a clear and confident voice on behalf of timeless truths: that a life in the womb is sacred and deserving of protection; that men and women were created with distinct natures; that families should be nurtured and supported; and that a loving God watches over us all.
 
Will you help us speak for truth with a gift today?
 
Thank you for being a reader of First Things and thank you for your support.

Sincerely,


R. R. Reno, Editor
First Things
