Will you help us educate, engage, and empower the laity?
The Nebraska Legislature will begin debating the most historic piece of pro-life legislation in its history, LB933, on Friday, March 25th. The Human Life Protection Act, which would protect all preborn life from the moment of conception, if and when Roe v. Wade is overturned. Our vulnerable neighbors, including preborn children, need every voice to advocate for them, including the help of community centers and institutions to promote the cause. We urgently need your help NOW through mid-April. With your help, we hope to educate and engage the public on this issue, and empower them to take action. We thank you for your help in this effort to advance the right to life in our state, so we can value, celebrate, and protect all human life in our state.

Below, you will find a variety of resources, including a bulletin announcement, a parish flyer, a sample pulpit announcement, social media graphics, and more.
