MISSION

THE PROBLEMRoe v Wade is falling, and the next great battle over the life issue is being waged in the hearts and minds of the next generation across our nation.

[1] A disconnect has emerged between the next generation and the pro-life message.

[2] 63% of Americans under age 30 believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

[3] Powerful organizations are growing their efforts to influence the next generation, led by Planned Parenthood, which has spent $8 million on social media ads since May 2018.

[4] As the belief prevails that abortion is a private decision to be worked out in secret, a culture of isolation has developed around unplanned pregnancy.

[5] This year, at least 400,000 U.S. women will have abortions because they don’t have the support of their partners, parents, friends, employers, and medical professionals.

THAT’S WHY WE NEED TO CHANGE THE CULTURE.

OUR STRATEGYMEDIA CAMPAIGNS

To change hearts and open minds, Voices media campaigns are per-suasively reaching millions of young Americans with the pro-life message on social media every year.

EMPOWERING SUPPORT

In 2020, we’re launching She Might, a website and online media brand to support and empower the thousands of women who go to the internet every day to decide what to do with their unplanned pregnancies.

PARTNERING WITH INFLUENCERS

We work closely with influential voices like Heather Avis to impact millions of young Americans with the pro-life message every year.

STORIES CHANGE CULTUREThe next generation forms opinions based more on the stories of the people in their lives than they do based on science or philosophy.

Stories open minds. Stories build empathy. Stories persuade.

Most people already believe in the dignity of human life in some form or another. They just haven’t made the connec-tion yet. Through powerful stories, we’re helping them connect the dots, reframe the conversation, and create com-munities where no one faces unplanned pregnancy alone.

At its core, the pro-life message is beau-tiful, compassionate, and winsome—even in the least religious generation in American history. The experiences of millions of people across the nation who’ve walked through unplanned pregnancy and abortion bear this out persuasively. There has never been a greater need to deliver this powerful message to the next generation.

Through digital media campaigns, Voices is reaching millions of young people across the nation with the pro-life message in a way they can truly hear it. Along the way, Voices is equipping new advocates to ensure that no one in their communities faces unplanned pregnancy alone.

As we seek strategic growth and expan-sion, we hope that you will partner with Voices for the Voiceless. Your support will enable us to reach even more young people with the pro-life message in 2020.

Thank you for your partnership in the mission to create a world where every human life is valued and no one faces unplanned pregnancy alone.
