Dear Friends,
On behalf of everyone at Family Policy Alliance, I want to wish you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving. 2023 has given us much to be thankful for. God blessed us with historic legislative success and unprecedented ground gained by the pro-family movement. But you and your support are what we are most thankful for, because without you, none of this year’s success would have been possible.
Gratitude is at the heart of our faith: our entire lives are to be lived as one great expression of gratitude to Christ for His sacrifice on the cross to make us holy. And your support is a direct reflection of that gratitude-driven life. We are so honored to partner with you to support and further pro-life, pro-family values in America, and we want to particularly express that gratitude on the day our nation focuses most on thankfulness.
We pray you and your family have a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving ! May God shower you with grace and favor this holiday season and in 2024.
In gratitude
Joseph Kohm III
Director, Public Policy
Thanksgiving blessings from the Family Policy Alliance and Family Policy Foundation family to yours!
There is no doubt, 2022 has been a challenging and turbulent time in our nation. A time when it is easy to be frustrated by failures and losses that the media and our leaders dwell upon. But for us, today is a time to be thankful. We pray you have the opportunity this Thanksgiving to reflect on God’s goodness and the endless blessings our Lord has bestowed on all of us.
FPA and FPF are beyond thankful for the huge steps forward we took for our Mission this year, and the opportunities we now have today and for the coming years. We thank God for the historic overturn of Roe v. Wade, conservatives gaining control of the House of Representatives to serve as goalies blocking the worst of DC’s wokeism, the growing Statesman Academy for elected leaders, and the introduction and facilitation of the new School Board Academy. We are thankful that abortion is already greatly curtailed in 12 states, and hope to gain several more in the coming year.. We are grateful that we won more school board seats in this election than we have ever seen, even in the blue states.
Most of all, we are thankful to you and the thousands of supporters and allies across the country working to advance God-honoring policies. Without your support, we wouldn’t have the chance to serve the Lord in our Mission as we do. You are the one who makes our work possible in support of the alliances we serve in DC and in forty states. You supported our education programs for elected officials so they can stand with their values in public office. You shaped national policy with campaigns like Save Girls Sports, Help Not Harm, and AfterRoe. We are so grateful to you. Thank you!
Thank you for your prayers, support, advocacy, and willingness to fight for what is right!
Please keep us in your prayers and please consider a special prayer that the impending marriage bill in the Senate is not moved forward. We are both praying and doing all we can, even this weekend, to preserve, protect and honor marriage in America.
God bless you and keep you this Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
For everything that needs fixing in our nation today, there remains a whole lot for us to be thankful for.
Today, we are thankful for the amazing network of Believers and friends who take action on critical issues in our Action Center, volunteer, donate and participate in our education courses through Family Policy Alliance and Family Policy Foundation.
In other words—we are thankful for you.
To the secular, far Left thought leaders, this was their year to launch an all-out assault on the families holding firm to God, their marriage, their children and their rights as parents. They expected to close the chapter on the American family by eliminating our religious freedom and erasing gender. They demeaned mothers by reducing them to “birthing vessels” and turned our kids in public schools over to radical sexualization and “critical race theory.”
But, they didn’t expect what happened next.
Parents just like you and me pushed back. We rose up, spoke up and then we showed up in the elections. We made a difference, and we have started something big.
And it is just beginning.
- Parents are mobilizing for 2022 like never before, and we are thankful that you are helping Family Policy Alliance serve these families well.
- We are thankful for the bills we helped pass at the state level (more than 200!) to protect life, religious liberty, families, parents and children – but there is more to do.
- We are grateful that we get to live and work through a time when we might finally overcome Roe v. Wade and the dark mark it has been on our nation since 1973. And ,we are so very grateful the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a challenge to Roe just next week!
Yes, there is a lot to be thankful for. Thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Spirit, for your guidance. Thank you for all your help in this most challenging year. We are blessed to have your support and prayers and want to share our support and prayers for you this Thanksgiving.
Many Blessings,

P.S. Speaking of Roe v. Wade and next week, we are also very excited to share with you about a new prolife campaign you made it possible to launch. The big reveal happens next week, but because we are so thankful for you, I wanted to give you a hint this Thanksgiving week. This new campaign will focus on the next chapter in protecting life in America. The seven Supreme Court justices who decided Roe v. Wade had no idea the decision would cost 62 Million American lives and counting. They didn’t know about ultrasounds. And they certainly didn’t know about the incredible prolife movement that would rise up. But now they do.
