What is CAP?

Your Voice for Arizona Families!

The Center for Arizona Policy (CAP) is your voice in the legislature and the media for promoting pro-family laws and values in Arizona! CAP acts on your behalf to increase support for the traditional family.

Meet the Leader of the Center for Arizona Policy, Cathi Herrod, in an interview with Stuart Shepard, managing editor of CitizenLink.

Some things are worth fighting for!

CAP was established in 1995 as a non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening Arizona families through policy and education. We accomplish this by actively educating Arizonans on issues like:

Abortion • Education • Parenting • Religious Freedom • Marriage

CAP is one of the leading organizations in Arizona actively fighting in the legislature and media for conservative, traditional views on gambling, homosexuality and pornography.

CAP battles organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and gay rights groups that seek to destroy traditional families and traditional moral values. CAP has developed strong bonds with friends like Arizona Right to Life, Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Arizona Families for Home Education, Alliance Defense Fund and many others including local churches. Although starting later than many other FPCs, CAP has quickly become the largest FPC in the United States, and has an unparalleled record of legislative success and cultural influence.

Coalition

Since 1988, business and community leaders from across the nation have been joining forces and investing in the future of America’s families. Through the work of state-based Family Policy Councils (FPCs), Judeo-Christian values are once again being heard in the “marketplace of ideas,” where all laws and cultural movements find their beginning.

FPCs offer no quick-fix solutions. Rather, they are digging in for the long haul, laboring for both morality and justice in public policies. FPCs are playing a key role in the formation of public policy and public opinion at the state and local level. The work of FPCs may be divided into four broad categories: conducting policy analysis and education, promoting responsible citizenship, facilitating strategic leadership involvement and influencing public opinion.

FPCs are independent entities with no corporate relationship to each other or Focus on the Family, but their purpose is uniform: to serve as a voice for the family and to assist advocates for family values in recapturing the moral and intellectual high ground in the public arena.. CAP has been selected and endorsed by Dr. Dobson and Focus on the Family to be the Family Policy Council for Arizona. CAP is deeply grateful for Focus on the Family’s support through the provision of research, promotion, materials, prayers and guidance.
