Next week is Arizona Women of Action’s Back to Reality Summit and we’re so excited to bring you all together for a night of fun, empowerment and unity! I’m thrilled to announce that Dr. Trenton Langhofer, a Licensed Professional Counselor specializing in treatment of childhood trauma, sexual dysfunction, depression, anxiety and other issues will be on our speakers’ panel to explain how we can support our children as they face the confusing and damaging ideologies in today’s society. Be sure to watch Dr. Langhofer’s podcast with Dr. Jeff from Summit Ministries, and get your tickets to our Summit to have the opportunity to learn more from him!

Did you know anything about school boards before 2020? If you were like most people, probably not. It took the shut-down, the masking of our children, and the school closures, which led to children doing their schoolwork at home, for us to become aware of the existence and importance of school boards.

Happy New Year, friends! We’ve been busy over the last six months creating a new movement for you to connect with—”Schools Making Academics Return to Truth S.M.A.R.T. Schools Project”!

We’re going to turn up the fun and effective engagement that schools and families really need! And we’re going to revive Truth and Academics-First into our schools.

We want to introduce you to a powerful young voice in the abortion conversation. Riley Acre helps lead an important organization, Voices for the Voiceless. Their messaging is fresh and gets right to the heart of the confusion that often motivates women to decide on abortion. It’s a new message of hope and empowerment reframing motherhood as a “pathway to success”, and ensuring “no one faces unplanned pregnancy alone”.

Women deserve to know all the facts, without emotional manipulation, on any important subject. Period. To withhold information from women, or to emotionalize hard medical facts, is not only insulting to women, but blatantly misogynistic. Women are smart enough to make sound decisions if we’re informed.

But we’re not informed. We’re not told the whole truth about abortion--about our bodies, and about our babies, how abortion affects our present and our future. This should anger every woman on both sides of the argument. We deserve to be informed!

Why is it that almost every area of cultural insanity seems like a sniper’s bullet aimed right at the heart of FAMILY? … Schools pushing gender confusion and racial division, while keeping parents unaware. Medical policies severing parent’s rights to protect and guide their children. Welfare incentives promoting fatherless homes. The ‘choice industry’ making billions, lying to women that they’ll be better off simply ‘erasing’ their unborn child. And governments making it harder for faith-centered agencies to place adoptions and foster kids into traditional, intact families. 

The reason is, strong families are a threat to those who want control. 

Wouldn’t it be great if all of us—especially our kids and grandkids--had a solid understanding of basic financial principles like creating and living within a budget, how to plan for retirement, how to fund college, or how much to withhold for income taxes? The need for government assistance and bailouts would be drastically smaller, and our communities would be stronger if they used the tools available to navigate their own financial well-being.   

Those who are financially literate have great advantages. But anybody can have them! They just need to access to the tools and support that give them stability and opportunity for themselves and their families.  

Being a counter-culture feminist in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s meant pushing abortion, unrestrained sexuality, and singleness. For many young women today, being counterculture means longing for a more traditional view of femininity, including marriage and motherhood.

For those of us promoting the cause of life for many years, it’s important to hear how younger generations view these issues. In this blog, hear from Eden Vandenboom, a high school senior, honor student, award-winning writer and speaker. She also volunteers time educating girls her age about the sanctity of life and the dangers of abortion.

Now that fall is here, we’re happy to walk or ride bikes to local businesses. But mayors and city planners across the state are quietly setting the stage so eventually you’ll be forced to rearrange your life entirely—walking or biking to work, school, sports and errands—even in the middle of July! Or the alternative is paying fees for the ‘privilege’ to drive your car. Is this fair? Is there valid reasoning? How will this affect your every day?

Can you list more than a few worthy reasons you’re frustrated with your government, your workplace, or your kids’ schools?... Now can you list any truly worthy reasons why you can’t do something to fix them? If we’re honest, you can do SOMETHING in at least ONE area that bugs you. And it would, indeed make at least a small, but significant, difference!

We’re inspired by so many of you Arizona Women of Action!! This week we asked Alison Klotnia (a busy woman probably like you) to tell us WHY she got fired up and decided to take on her local school district. How did she figure it out? What were the hurdles? And how did she feel when her battle plan came together?

Ask yourself, just five years ago were many people talking about transsexualization, as it was commonly called then? Now with media and corporate messaging, you’d think half the population suffers from ‘gender dysphoria’. Serious science reveals this is NOT biological, but rather a social trend, and often a political and marketing campaign. 

But it’s too serious to be dismissed as a fad. This social contagion, the ‘transing’--especially of children—is destroying their bodies, causing chemical and surgical castration, life-long dependence on drugs, and emotional and mental breakdown. Not to mention the devastation being done to families.
