American Family Action Network, Inc. (AFAN), a 501(c)4, directly lobbies for the family, proposing and supporting specific legislation and endorsing candidates for political office. Backed by the intellectual resources of American Family Project, Inc., AFAN:
- Proposes and promotes legislation, or the repeal of burdensome regulations, that will make it easier to have a family and raise children recognizing that the family is the basic cell of society and parents are the primary educators of their children.
- Work to get Pro-Family politicians elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Using American Family Project’s Congressional Family Sentiment Scorecard, we will work with campaigns of Pro-Family members and with the opponents of incumbent members with Anti-Family scores.
- The Congressional Family Caucus, created in March 2023 and now with 30+ members, is uniquely suited to forge a pro-family platform and become the most influential caucus in Congress. AFAN will help make this happen by introducing actions to bolster the Caucus’ exposure and contributing legislative initiatives.
- State legislatures are closer to families and can do even more for families by enacting legislation outside the enumerated powers of the Federal government in education, health and public safety. In 2025, AFAN will begin to establish family caucuses in state legislatures based on its experience at the Federal level.
