Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Fidelis is a national social welfare organization established to organize, coordinate, and mobilize grassroots civic action for catholics and all people of good will to defend life, faith and family.

Major Activities

Activity 2
Fidelis operated a d/b/a commonly known as catholic vote action or catholicvoteaction.org (cva), to educate, mobilize and influence public policy on issues of concern to catholic voters and all people of good will. Effective september 1, 2010 the d/b/a changed its name to catholic vote or catholicvote.org (cv). Cva/cv used online media programs, including video commercials, social media, and email messaging to influence the public debate surrounding health care reform. Cva/cv sent an estimated 4 million email messages to subscribers providing commentary and civic action updates in an effort to influence the health care debate. Cva/cv engaged directly with key legislators and hospital and doctor groups with phone calls and meetings to promote reform that would prohibit taxpayer funding for abortion, provide conscience protection for doctors and health care workers, and increase the availability of affordable health care for all americans. The catholicvoteaction.org website operated as the 501(c)4 counterpart to the catholic vote education fund.
