These days everyone is talking about the level of crime and violence in our country, even some in the liberal media.

This is the perfect illustration of why STAND and Project 76 are so relevant. We’ve been talking about this issue for years. Most politicians and the media ignored us. President Trump deserves great credit for calling attention to it, but the reality is that the state of these communities is a symptom of the widespread rejection of God which permeates the culture of our cities and the mindset of their leaders. In Washington DC there were violent daytime carjackings by young teenagers until President Trump stepped in.

This is a major part of why we created Project 76 STANDATHON and dedicated the 76 days from July 4th to September 17th to praying for our country. This is why we are hosting a ten-hour livestream on Constitution Day. As Ronald Reagan said, “If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under. “  As John Adams said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

One of the greatest threats to our Republic is racial division. It almost destroyed our country in a Civil War. Thank God that slavery and segregation are distant historical memories for most Americans. However, the Left won’t let it rest.

STAND is the only conservative organization in America dedicated to exposing how race is now being used as a tool of political manipulation. Propaganda like “systemic racism,” “micro-aggressions,” and “white privilege” are Marxist inspired concepts to marginalize whites as guilty oppressors and manipulate blacks and other racial minorities as helpless victims. The goal is to keep minorities in the coalition of the Godless and control their votes.

The crime wave we are experiencing has nothing to do with racism. It is the result of two primary factors: (1) the breakdown of the family and (2) the disrespect and dismantling of law enforcement as racist “occupiers,” or as one MSNBC talking head put it, “slave catchers.”

Innocent children and law-abiding citizens are not being killed by poverty or racism or outlaw police. They are being killed by young monsters who live among them.  When people reject God’s word, God’s will, and God’s way they become nihilistic, reduced to animals in a dog-eat-dog battle for supremacy.

We are speaking against Jasmine Crockett, Ilhan Omar, Al Sharpton, and all the race-baiting America haters who offer nothing but racist propaganda and excuses for bad behavior. Stand with us by becoming a donor to our effort. You can help amplify our voice because the lame-stream media certainly won’t.

We held a community meeting in the south side of Chicago two years ago about ending the scourge of crime. The people we met with included parents of murdered children. They knew racists didn’t come into their communities and kill their children; it was the next-door neighbor. Black kids are killing other black kids. The attendees of our conference want us to continue working with them to build on what we started. Your support will give us the resources to do that in Chicago and other cities.

Many Chicagoans walked up to the display we built showing pictures with names of murdered children. Some wept as they found their children and others they knew. They appreciated our approach of cooperation with law enforcement, strengthening families, and providing educational choice.

Our answers are very different than the Chicago Mayor who recently was asked whether more police would help, and answered that in order to reduce crime, they needed “more affordable housing.” It is difficult to fathom such blind stupidity, but he is part of the problem, and we are striving to be part of the solution.

Over 77% of children born to black mothers in Washington DC are born out of wedlock. The out of wedlock birth rate in Chicago is over 80%. Children who grow up without the stability of a married father and mother are vulnerable to the influences of street life – gangs, drug dealers, and other criminals.

In fact, suicide, drug addiction, rape, murder, and incarceration all correlate to the absence of a father in the home. The results are bad for both boys and girls, but boys are especially prone to violence and crime which lead to prison.  Most of the victims of crime are other Black people, including innocent children. Seventy-four black children have been murdered in Chicago street violence since the defund the police movement began.

I was born into a broken home and raised in foster care from infancy to ten years old. My father rescued me from foster life at the age of ten. My passion for family is born of intimate knowledge of what happens when children do not have a Mom and a Dad in the home. This is why we established the Family Restoration Institute. Your generous donation to help strengthen families will do more long-term to break the cycle of crime and violence than any government plan or program ever could.

Years ago, we established STAND With Law Enforcement, a solution which focuses on cooperating with the police to get the monsters off the streets. We all need to have a zero-tolerance policy for vicious criminals, regardless of their age. The immediate short-term goal is to make the streets safe for innocent children and law abiding citizens.

Children have been shot in their beds, their parents’ cars, their yards, and on the street playing near their homes. Most of the perpetrators are young black men. Law enforcement must take these killers off the streets and prosecutors, judges, and juries must put them away.

Two years ago, we established the Family Restoration Institute to focus on the long-term solution – rebuilding the family. The only way to permanently stop the crime wave and make these communities desirable places to live is to create families which raise children to be productive law-abiding citizens. We must instill in the next generation a vision of marriage and family according to God’s design.

The Project 76 STANDATHON will conclude on September 17th – Constitution Day.
