Some Big News…
And a special gift matching challenge! But first, did you hear what Planned Parenthood did in Illinois?
On August 19th, the Democratic National Convention started in downtown Chicago.
On that same day, a van pulled up outside of the United Center. No one could have predicted the purpose of this van.
The van displayed slogans like "Abortion. Justice. Now." and "Healthcare, No Matter Where".
However, this van was not there to provide care or bring justice.
It was a "mobile clinic.” It was parked in the streets of Chicago to perform free abortions during the Convention.
Planned Parenthood told the press they performed 25 abortions in the van - 25 innocent lives lost.
Thanks to Illinois’ pro-abortion laws, there are no regulations for these “mobile clinics.” Planned Parenthood can even bring doctors who have lost their medical licenses in other states, and it’s legal in Illinois!
There is nothing pro-woman about performing unregulated procedures on women in a van.
This devastating event is not confined to the streets of Chicago.
Planned Parenthood pours millions of dollars into promoting abortion everywhere, especially targeting college students.
The students targeted by Planned Parenthood are the same ones we aim to reach.
That’s why weDignify focuses on sharing the truth about abortion on college campuses - to change hearts and save lives.
Each semester, weDignify students are trained to change hearts on abortion. These trained leaders are equipped to start conversations with their friends, family, and strangers on campus - and bring them to the pro-life cause.
Last fall, Isaiah approached two young women on the quad, and asked about their feelings on abortion.
“I asked why she was okay with abortion in some circumstances, but not others — and she couldn’t answer my question.”
In just one conversation, Isaiah helped a Planned Parenthood volunteer begin to change her mind. This is the power of investing in college students. When trained and supported, pro-life leaders change hearts for life - leading to many more lives saved.
Our mission is critical in the culture of death across college campuses. Now more than ever, we need pro-life advocates to change hearts for life - leading to many more lives saved.
That’s why we’re sending Pro-Life Missionaries to Illinois State University!
Already, Pro-Life Missionaries Antonio and Savannah have inspired students to pro-life action.
Here are just 3 of the students already part of weDignify at ISU:
Annie's sister had an abortion at 15, and has regretted it ever since. Annie joined a weDignify small group to stop others from experiencing the pain of abortion.
Claire was in foster care until she was 18. She openly shares that it is challenging to be in the foster care system - but she is grateful to be alive! She joined Small Group to share her story with others.
Michelle is a student mother with a two-year-old son. Even though she knew she'd choose life for her baby, she was under pressure from friends and family to choose abortion. She always knew she’d choose life, even before she got pregnant. Now she's involved with weDignify to learn how to help change others' hearts and actions.
Because of you, weDignify is transforming ISU into a culture of life, one heart at a time.
But we need your help.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 to fund this life-saving campaign, train hundreds of students, and transform campus into a culture of life. Your gift to weDignify will help reach this goal and save lives.
Plus, generous supporters will match gifts up to $5,000!
Whatever you give will count TWO TIMES for weDignify to train pro-life leaders!
But you must donate by September 30th for it to be doubled.
P.S. Sophia, a pro-life leader, asked me to share with YOU: “I cannot thank you enough for your generous donation! I felt very nervous about leading a pro-life small group, but after weDignify’s training, I feel equipped to share about abortion with my group and to go outside of my comfort zone.”
P.P.S. Donate by September 30th and it will be doubled!
Thank you for saving lives in Illinois.
