What can we do!?

(Some ideas using Pro-Life as an example issue…)

1-   Inform yourself!

a. call up or visit a Health pregnancy Center.  They have lots of info to share!

b. Visit the various Pro-Life Sites both State and National organizations!  Here are just a few!: Pro-Life Action Ministry, Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, Minnesota Family Council, St. Thomas Prolife Center, March For Life, Live Action, 40 days for Life, many more!

2-   Speak Up!

a. Respectfully discuss Pro-life issues with Friends, family, community. 

b. Push back and call out the lies of the abortion movement! Pro-lifers are pro-family and are the most likely to give charitability, adopt, or serve as foster parents.

c. Ask questions; when does life start?  When is it justifiable to end said life?

d. Write a Letter to the Editor!

e. Go up and Testify on a Bill!

3-   Get involved!

a. Pray!!! Start a prayer group!

b. Connect with your local Pregnancy Crisis center. See what they need! (Various options for both extroverts or introverts)

c. Serve as a sidewalk counselor.

d. Testify regarding upcoming legislation and write Letters to the Editor
