In this episode of Life Matters, Brian Johnston explains how the pro-life movement, and every political movement throughout history, has been successful:
By organizing educating and motivating on the local level.
The National Right to Life Committee is composed of 50 separate organizations, one in each state. In turn, each of these state affiliates are comprised of local volunteers and chapters which address the right to life issue within their own community.
Brian addresses the methods by which the civics of each community should be engaged, in particular during elections. If pro-life candidates can be educated and encouraged, and pro-life voters educated and encouraged to vote for pro-life candidates, each and every community will be transformed from School Board, to City Council, to County Supervisors and up the ladder to the State Legislature and Congress itself.
This model has proven successful wherever applied. Brian shares several stories regarding effective pro-life organizing in those states which are ready for the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and why that approach is the only way that our movement can expect to be successful.
