Friends and the New Political Challenge

(US/Pacific)

Dear Friends,

The 119th Congress has begun, and President-elect Donald Trump takes office next week.

FCNL has been strategizing and planning, and we are prepared for the challenges ahead.

Join us online to learn how your advocacy can power legislative change.

One hour starting at:
3:00 PM Hawaii = 5:00 PM Pacific = 6:00 PM Mountain

Our call will focus on how we can work together on opportunities we can seize and threats we cannot ignore. These include:

  • Restoring aid to Gaza and furthering peace in the Middle East.
  • Protecting health care and food assistance funding for poor and working families.
  • Preventing funding for harmful immigration enforcement and detention.

There are tough times ahead for issues we all care about, but with slim margins in Congress and more than 80 new legislators, we will have many opportunities to advance our policy priorities.

We must continue to be persistent, elevate our policy solutions, and build relationships with members of the 119th Congress and their staff. Together, we are powerful!
