Introducing the CAN Initiative!

This is why we are thrilled to introduce the Christian Action Network(CAN), a new initiative within the New Mexico Family Action Foundation. With Representative Rod Montoya as our valuable partner, CAN will work to inform, equip, and empower Christian leaders across New Mexico to engage in critical issues that impact our religious liberties, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.

At CAN, our mission is simple but vital:

• Informing Church Leaders on bills, laws, and policies that protect or restrict religious liberty, life, and parental rights.
• Helping Church Leaders stay knowledgeable and well-versed on issues that affect your religious institutions and the families in your congregations.
• Equipping Church Leaders with options to engage both your congregations and the elected officials making these decisions.

We are believers committed to increasing transparency in government, holding our officials accountable, and making sure our voices as Christians are heard in shaping the future of our state. With the leadership of Rep. Montoya, we are eager to bring more awareness and action to these pressing issues. Here is a message from Rod explaining why he wanted to start CAN in partnership with NMFAF:

Good morning Pastors & Christian Leaders,

I’m State Representative Rod Montoya and I’m a fellow believer. I hope that you will take the next couple of minutes to read this message in which I will detail the attack on religious liberty, the sanctity of life and parent’s rights in New Mexico.

Thank God that Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, and that he has signed several executive orders which will bolster these important rights on a national level. That being said, his actions will not undo the damage that has been done in New Mexico by Governor Lujan Grisham and progressive legislators over the past few years.

In the last five years, we have seen our churches shut down with a simple swipe of the governor’s pen; we have passed laws that allow underage children to get an abortion or gender-altering “care” without a parent being notified; and we have made it legal for biological males to enter female safe-spaces and participate in female sports.

Once again, thank God for actions our president has taken which address many of these issues on a national level, however, New Mexico is not benefitting from these actions because of laws that were passed by our legislature which preempt them. Most New Mexicans weren’t  even aware these laws were being pushed until it was too late.

That is why I’m writing to you. If you are interested in being informed of bills, policies and laws which will affect clear Biblical directives and your Christian world view, you need to do nothing more than open and read the updates we will be sending to you from the Christian Action Network (CAN).

“CAN” is a New Mexico based initiative whose mission is to keep Pastors and Christian Leaders informed about proposed bills, laws and policies that will effect you and your parishioners.

Standing Firm,

Rod Montoya

Together, we can make a difference for faith, family, and freedom in New Mexico.
