Christians are called to be salt and light in our culture, but the American church has grown apathetic in the stewardship of our rights and liberties. Presently, there is relatively little difference between the voting patterns of people who call themselves Christians and the public at large. This should not be! If Christians retreat from the call to be involved in our culture, our nation will continue to stray away from God’s timeless truths and principles. We Pray, Vote, and Engage!
By taking THE PLEDGE, you agree to:
PRAY - Commit to pray for 5 minutes a week for our nation.
VOTE - Commit to vote in every election (local, state, and national).
ENGAGE - Commit to engage your heart in some form of civic education and involvement for the well-being of our nation
Once you've taken the pledge you'll receive Voting Reminders, Prayer Prompts, and Biblical voting resources!
Not My Kid Petition: New ONLINE Petition!
During the 2023 legislative session, legislators passed 6 egregious bills into law. These 6 laws attack parental rights, the innocence of children, the sanctity of life, and election security.
As the legislative session closed in 2023, NMFAM joined many other groups across New Mexico in a united effort to practice our right to Referendum - a New Mexico constitutional right to challenge the laws through public vote. For over a year Referendum efforts have been collecting signatures to see these laws placed on the ballot this November. And, for over a year Referendum leaders have also been fighting for our rights in the courts of New Mexico.
Unfortunately, the New Mexico Supreme Court recently ruled that the two election laws are 'exempt' from the referendum process and affirmed that the NM Secretary of State can exempt other laws from a referendum process if they relate to public peace, health, or safety. The SOS has used that authority to designate all six laws as exempt from the referendum process.
Do not be disheartened!
We will not let the SOS or the courts of New Mexico stop us from fighting for the values we hold dear. Each signature that was collected will be hand delivered, in combination with our new ONLINE petition, to every member of the New Mexico legislature during the 2025 session to let them know just how many constituents oppose these bad laws and move them to repeal these laws.
If you have already signed an in-person petition, thank you! But please feel free to also sign the online version - we will filter for duplicates before bringing them to lawmakers.
Edmund Burke once said,
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing."
While we often feel that fighting for our values in the New Mexico Legislature is a losing battle, it is making a difference! Thousands of New Mexicans are waking up to the battle that exists for our children, our families, and our faith. Do not underestimate your voice. Do not underestimate your influence. And never, for one moment, believe that your voice doesn't matter.

A recent Federal court ruling has prohibited the Biden Department of Education from enforcing the new Title IX rules against the states of Kansas, Alaska, Utah, and Wyoming, as well as every school attended by the members of Young America’s Foundation and the children of Moms for Liberty members. That's right! That means if your child is a member of Young America's Foundation or if you are a member of Mom's for Liberty, then these court protections will apply to your child's school! BUT HURRY! The deadline to join the YAF is July 15th!

Before we move on to the next festival, I want to encourage you to use your voice in next week's primary elections. While we are cultivating community, connecting families and resources, and establishing thriving families in New Mexico, we must remember our responsibility to give biblical values a voice in our elections.

For centuries, our elected leadership has taken oaths to defend the constitution and the rights enshrined therein and the guarantee of every American’s freedom. Yet today, in New Mexico, our highest form of leadership has clearly revealed a blatant disregard for those very freedoms and for the constitution she swore to defend.
Nehemiah set out to accomplish one of the largest building projects in history because God had burdened his heart to see God’s people renewed, God’s city restored, and God’s power realized. Make no mistake, the path was not easy. You see, any time God’s work is being done, the enemy will become angry...

When you take on a project and work so diligently on seeing that project succeed, it's easy to become restricted by tunnel vision. Pretty soon, all you can see is the project in front of you and your brain becomes foggy to anything outside of the tunnel.

Check out our Executive Director, Jodi Hendricks, as she gives testimony on HB7.
Jodi Hendricks, executive director of the New Mexico Family Action Movement, an advocacy group, said local government bodies should maintain the right to determine what’s best for their community. Abortion and gender-affirming care are elective procedures, she said, and access to appropriate health care is already protected.
“Life-affirming and -saving health care is available wherever you need to it to be available,” Hendricks told lawmakers
Sadly, HB7 was passed today in the House Health & Human Services Committee by a vote of 7 to 3.
The bill will now be reviewed in the House Judiciary Committee. It is here that we pray the broad language of the bill will be recognized as over reaching and dangerous for New Mexico. Be on alert for your opportunity to voice your concerns to the Judiciary Committee members.
Bottom Line - The bill ensures access to abortion and gender-affirming services across our state. Local governments and agents will have no rights to provide life protections within their communities.
Should you get involved in school choice? Absolutely. Because thriving children equals thriving families. When New Mexico families thrive, the Land of Enchantment becomes a little more enchanting.
Every aspect of God's creation was intentional and for a purpose; even the fact that Man was the only aspect of his creation to receive life through the breath of God. We are the only piece in his grand design that was set apart and created in his image.
