We sincerely hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving with your family, friends, and neighbors. We’re back in action at Illinois Family Institute after enjoying a restful holiday break with our loved ones; so very thankful to God Almighty for His many blessings. But our gratefulness certainly shouldn’t end (or begin) with the fourth Thursday in November!
As we resume our work, I don’t have to tell you that there’s an all-out war on the right to life, marriage, biology, common sense, and our children. And when I look at the latest political headlines in Illinois, I get concerned about what 2023 will hold for the pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom movement. Both in Illinois and nationally we will have an uphill climb. But together, we can accomplish much!
Let’s be clear: our concern isn’t centrally about politics. Like you, we care about the moral and social issues:
>>>Sanctity of Life: the tens of thousands of abortions that take place annually in Illinois is both outrageous and heartbreaking. Abortion cheerleaders are working to facilitate tens of thousands more since the Dobbs ruling earlier this year.
>>>Religious Intolerance/Christian Bigotry: the ongoing battle to remove our First Amendment freedoms to live by our consciences and practice and share our faith.
>>>Identity Politics and Sexual Anarchy: truly the Leftists have gone too far. No clear-thinking person believes there are 63 genders. This, however, has created an opportunity for those of us defending marriage and family to gain back ground in the culture.
>>>Big government on the backs of working families: the continuous tax increases lawmakers think will fix their reckless and irresponsible spending is never the answer.
Today, I invite you to take part in an effort to stand for Truth in the public square by supporting the Illinois Family Institute, which works diligently to defend traditional values and expose lies. It is a wonderful opportunity to help protect children, families, and religious freedom.
As we wrap up the days following Thanksgiving 2022, I ask you to prayerfully consider giving #4Families on #GivingTuesday.
Maybe its $25, maybe its $50, maybe its $100 or even more if God leads. Whatever the amount, we are thankful for your support and encouragement.
