Programs described in its return (2)
- $19.9 million spent. Issue Advocacy Program - SBA List encouraged its membership to take action to help pass laws that save lives and to help defeat anti-life measures at the federal and state levels. Activists take action by signing petitions to Congress and state legislatures through the mail; using SBA List's online legislative action center to contact Congress and state legislatures through email or by phone; attending grassroots rallies; and by speaking out on social media. SBA List also launches paid media campaigns to educate and mobilize activists using TV ads, radio ads, newspaper ads, digital ads, and patch-through phone call campaigns. These grassroots efforts are reinforced through SBA List's lobbying team that directly lobbies Congress and state legislatures, and by SBA List's field team that organizes activists in key states. SBA List's top legislative priorities include passing gestational limitations on abortion; passing laws that prohibit taxpayer funding of abortion, especially through Obamacare; ending taxpayer funding for organizations that provide abortion services; defeating proposed bills that would expand abortion and/or taxpayer funding of abortion; passing laws that prohibit or regulate dangerous chemical abortion drugs; passing laws that expand the pro-life safety net for women and families; and passing laws that protect freedom of conscience, among others.
- $533,253 spent. Membership Communication Program - sent the membership of SBA List educational and legislative updates to keep membership fully aware and engaged on all SBA List activities. These updates are sent via direct mail, e-mail, and social media. These communications help keep members fully educated on the latest pro-life news, how they can help advance pro-life leadership, and how they can lend their voice for the voiceless to help advance laws that will save lives.
