MFI Speaks Life to Elizabeth Warren

I am down in D.C. this week with five Massachusetts pastors, taking part in the Family Research Council’s Watchmen on the Wall Conference. We’re learning how churches can partner with groups like MFI to strategically influence the public square for the common good. Sometimes pastors are uncomfortable filling their role of speaking God’s truth into the halls of government. Not these pastors! One of them even joined me as I met with legislative staffers in the offices of my Congresswoman, Representative Nikki Tsongas, and Senator Elizabeth Warren. We urged them to defund Planned Parenthood and stand up for their constituents against the marijuana industry.

This has been a great first-hand experience for these pastors with MFI’s mission of equipping people of faith to influence our public officials on these important issues. For example, we educated Senator Warren’s office on the fact that there are about 270 community health centers and somewhere between 20 and 25 Pregnancy Care Centers in Massachusetts and that defunding Planned Parenthood will not jeopardize the healthcare of women. In fact, just yesterday we witnessed another extremely disturbing video from The Center for Medical Progress of the grotesque practice of abortion and the selling of baby body parts. (Though Youtube has currently removed the video, censoring this expose that on the abortion industry, it has been reposted here).

When reminded about this, Senator Warren’s staffer stated she still believes that “there is a place for Planned Parenthood and values their partnership with the community centers in Massachusetts.” Clearly the millions of dollars Planned Parenthood currently receives from the federal government would be better spent on the Pregnancy Care Centers and community health centers that are not under federal investigation for the sale of baby parts. We must continue to expose the inhumane and evil practices of Planned Parenthood and demand even the most liberal of politicians like Senator Warren to protect and strengthen the most vulnerable in our society.

We encourage pastors across the Bay State to partner with MFI to stand up for laws that will protect and strengthen the family in Massachusetts. We hope to get 50 pastors next year to come with us to Washington D.C. for this great conference and opportunity to be a witness to our governing authorities. You can find out more about the conference here.

Don’t forget that a great first step to get involved with Massachusetts Family Institute is to have someone at your church teach our Engage the Bay State curriculum in a Sunday school or small group environment. You can find out more about the curriculum at our website. The curriculum is also available in Portuguese and Spanish. We also welcome the opportunity to speak at your church on how people can partner with us. Here is a video of our recent visit to Lion of Judah in Boston:

Would you like to teach the “Engage the Bay State” curriculum at your church?

MA Parents Sound the Alarm, Nation Takes Notice

Back in February, we told you about two new tools parents could use to push back against indoctrination and protect girls’ sports and spaces in Massachusetts public schools.

The Fight Isn’t Over: Burlington Survey Controversy Grows

Last week, we reported that Burlington Public Schools gave a sexually explicit survey to middle and high school students, including some as young as 6th grade. Even more troubling, several students whose parents had explicitly opted them out were still forced to take it. The survey included graphic content, asking questions

Massachusetts Lawmakers Dodge Vote to Protect Girls’ Sports

On Wednesday, the Massachusetts House of Representatives quietly passed a supplemental budget bill containing a common-sense provision to protect girls’ sports, but instead of standing on principle, lawmakers used a procedural sleight of hand to dodge the issue and avoid going on record. The provision, filed by Rep. John Gaskey, states that no

Spring Sports Are Back—So Is the DEI Pledge. Here’s What to Do.

With the spring sports season now in full swing, many Massachusetts parents are discovering that, despite recent efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, their children’s schools are still requiring athletes to sign a DEI pledge. Unfortunately, this isn’t a new issue. Back in late 2021, the Massachusetts Interscholastic
