{{first_name|Friend}},
I have news I have been praying for — and it came faster than I expected.
Just three days after Thursday night's webcast, where we publicly named the eight companies confirmed to be building New Mexico's $10 million tax-funded UNM abortion and transgender facility in Las Cruces…
A second company has already walked away from the project.
The first, as you may remember, was the original porta potty company that pulled off the site early in this effort. That was a victory. This second one is something more.
This company received your letters. Real, signed, mailed letters from families across New Mexico, Texas, and beyond. And after reading them — after realizing what they had actually been hired to build — they did something extraordinary:
They hired an attorney to terminate their contract.
They had not been given full disclosure about what this facility actually is, but once they understood the truth — that what they were helping to build was a state-funded abortion training facility designed to perform late-term abortions and gender-transition procedures on children — they refused to be part of it any longer.
That is the power of a single, respectful, signed letter from someone who refuses to stay silent.
This is exactly what Chris Danze described on Thursday's webcast.
In 2003 Austin, every single delay in the Planned Parenthood project began the same way: a subcontractor learning the truth about what they had been hired to build, and walking away. The general contractor was left scrambling. The "B team" demanded triple pay. Costs ballooned. Timelines collapsed. And by the end of the campaign, Planned Parenthood's national president was begging donors across the country just to finish the build.
That is the playbook. And right now, in Las Cruces, it is working.
The proven strategy from Austin is not theory. It is happening here, in our state, in real time, three days after we publicly named the names.
The letter packet at StopTheCenter.com has now been updated to include:
Two thank-you letters — one for each of the companies that has now pulled out
Updated outreach letters to every remaining confirmed company on the build
Please take a few minutes today, or tomorrow at the latest, to:
1. Download the updated letters at StopTheCenter.com (Google Doc | Word | PDF)
2. Sign and mail the two thank-you letters to the companies that walked away. They have suffered real loss for the sake of conscience — walking away from contracts, from revenue, from client relationships. Some have hired attorneys at their own expense. They deserve to hear from us. They deserve our gratitude, our prayers, and our promise of future business. Encouragement makes the next company more likely to follow.
3. Sign and mail the outreach letters to the remaining companies on the list. Personalize where you can. Pray over each one. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the heart of whoever opens that envelope. And remember Chris's words — every personal connection, every parish tie, every word-of-mouth conversation in a town like Las Cruces, is worth a hundred letters.
I want to be honest with you about why this matters so urgently.
The governor of New Mexico has stated publicly that, “by God, this facility will be built before the end of her term.” Her term ends December 31. She has $10 million of your tax dollars committed to making it happen, and she is doing everything in her power to break ground and pour concrete before her time runs out.
But Senator David Gallegos shared something on Thursday's webcast that I want you to hear again, very clearly:
All three Republican candidates in the current gubernatorial primary have agreed — non-negotiably — that if this construction is delayed past the end of this year, they will redirect this $10 million toward a full, authentic, pro-life women's health center.
A real women's health center. The kind that southern New Mexico desperately needs. The kind that addresses the maternal care crisis Dominique Davis described — a state where pregnant women cannot get OB-GYN care, where hospitals are closing maternity wards, where women drive hours just to deliver their babies.
That is a real, hopeful, achievable future for this $10 million.
But it depends entirely on us delaying construction past December 31.
Every letter you mail buys time. Every phone call buys time. Every prayer at the construction site buys time. Every subcontractor who walks away — like the two who already have — buys time. Every increased cost, every "B team" scramble, every week of paperwork sorting through a contractor's lawyered-up exit, buys time.
Time is the battlefield. And right now, we are winning small but real ground every single week.
I will keep you updated as more companies walk. And we will publicly honor every one of them when they do — by name, with thanksgiving, and with prayers for their families and their businesses.
Please pray. Please send the letters. Please share this update with everyone you know.
And please remember what St. Paul wrote — and what I cannot stop thinking about as I watch this story unfold: that the works of darkness are done in secret, but the truth, once spoken aloud, sets people free.
We are speaking the truth aloud. And it is working.
For Life,
Standing with you for life,
Jessica Sifuentes
President & CEO
Southwest Coalition
P.S. — If you have a personal connection to anyone working at any of the remaining companies on our list — a parish tie, a family member, a friend, a business relationship — that conversation is worth more than every mailed letter combined. Please pray about it, then make the call. The two companies that have already walked did so because someone, somewhere, made it personal. Download the updated letter pack at StopTheCenter.com »
