Pro-Life Training

Life is Always on the Ballot

Since the Dobbs Decision of 2022, all elections have become elections where the abortion question is relevant. The difference between policies that support pregnant women and policies that promote abortion is found at the ballot box.
 
Town councils are deciding to be Sanctuary Cities for Life. County commissioners determine changes to zoning ordinances that could allow out-of-state abortionists to move in. State legislatures are providing funding for life-affirming pregnancy centers and support services for single moms.
 
Constitutional officers can determine if radical, pro-abortion petitioners followed the laws.
Elected judges determine the constitutionality of the pro-life laws. Voters are swayed by well-funded, dark money state constitutional amendment campaigns to support abortion on-demand and remove parental rights over their teens’ gender confusion.
Now, more than before, effective pro-life activism and political involvement determines the strength of the culture of life in a community.
 
Since its founding in 1979, the Leadership Institute (LI) has trained pro-life activists involved in every major pro-life policy fight and campaign. Before the Dobbs Decision fundamentally changed the pro-life policy landscape, LI reinvigorated its commitment to support pro-life activists and candidates, by starting a Pro-Life Programs Division.
 
 
The Leadership Institute’s Pro-Life Programs utilizes expert in-house staff with real-world experience working in pro-life campaigns and veteran faculty who are actively engaged in the pro-life fight at local, state, and national levels. Trainings tailored for the pro-life community include:
 
Pro-Life Campaign Management
Grassroots Lobbying
Persuasive Communications
Decline to Sign Activism
Get-Out-The-Vote
 
As our (pro-life) founder, Morton Blackwell says, “You owe it to your philosophy to learn how to win.”
 
Let LI’s legendary training programs teach your pro-life candidates and volunteers how to run successful campaigns to pass pro-life legislation, stop radical pro-abortion abortion amendments, and built the culture of life.
