Major changes at UN – A boost for faith, family & freedom!

Opinion piece by Errol Naidoo; Family Policy Institute

Family Policy Institute (FPI) ally, C-Fam reports, efforts to elect a new United Nations (UN) Secretary General is heating up. Why this is important for South Africa is because leftist governments prefer a radical pro-abortion feminist in this role – but the US opposes it.

The Trump administration insists the UN must steer clear of controversial political issues and focus on its core mission of peace and security. Tragically, UN agencies like the WHO, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF and others have been hijacked by sexual rights radicals.

C-Fam also reports on what transpired after the Trump administration turned off the USAID money train. US federal dollars intended to alleviate poverty around the world was laundered through left wing NGOs to fund radical abortion and LGBTQ ideology globally.

Millions of USAID dollars were also redirected to political organisations organising for the left in Latin America. Now that USAID dollars are no longer available to fund the lefts political and ideological agenda, it lost seven national elections in Latin America.

The Trump administration’s resistance of radical feminists heading up the UN and its efforts to persuade allied nations to adopt the tenets of the Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD) is reversing the ideological advances of the Biden admin and European Union.

43 countries are signatories to the GCD. Now that the Secretariat for the Geneva Consensus Declaration has returned to the US State Department, many more nations are expected to adopt the Declarations pro-life and pro-family values and principles.

The US State Department and Institute for Women’s Health will host the “6^th Commemoration of the Geneva Consensus Declaration” on 15 Sept at the US Capitol Complex in Washington DC. This event will be attended by US government officials, policymakers, pro-family leaders and representatives from countries around the world.

I received an invitation to attend this important event in my capacity as Executive Director of Family Policy Institute and Director of the African Christian Professionals Forum (ACPF).
I am organising the 3^rd  ACPF Pan-African Conference on Family Values in Cape Town 12 – 15 May 2027. This event has already provoked fierce opposition from LGBTQ radicals.

My colleague, Taryn Ulster launched a Back a Buddy campaign to help me raise the R70,000 required for my travel expenses. As of today, we raised R2,350. Please consider a contribution of any amount to help get me to Washington. Every donation counts.

I will represent South Africa at this international gathering. While in Washington, I will engage with FPI’s pro-family allies, policy makers and key U.S. State Department officials to build strategic relationships and explore opportunities for international collaboration.

I intend exploring funding opportunities in the US to strengthen the work being done through Family Policy Institute and Rescue SA Civil Rights Alliance in South Africa. The US State Department reportedly made funding available to support pro-life and pro-family efforts in SA as well as exposing and combating discriminatory policies against minorities.

RSACRA lodged its first case against the ANC on 19 May for illegal use of apartheid-era race classification in 142 race-based laws. The ANC uses it to enrich a few politically connected individuals while impoverishing millions of previously disadvantaged citizens.

We will also sue the ANC for the water crisis in SA. This case will be filed in the High Court soon. These cases will probably end in the Constitutional Court. We must raise several million rand to fund our litigation. The ANC will use taxpayer money to defend its crimes.

FPI and RSACRA are fighting on the frontlines for faith, family and religious freedoms. We are also holding corrupt politicians accountable for crimes against humanity in courts of law. My trip to Washington next week will open major doors to strengthen our fight in SA.

Please consider an urgent contribution of any amount to help get me to Washington DC. The invitation to attend this historic event in the US offers major opportunities to enhance my work in SA. Your donation – big or small – will make this unique opportunity a reality.

If I fail to raise the finances for this trip by 9 Sept, I will be forced to withdraw my participation at the GCD event in Washington. However, I trust God for success. Please pray for provision and open doors for this trip. Thank you for considering my request.
