IRS990/MissionDesc0Equal Rights Institute trains pro-life advocates to think clearly, reason honestly, and argue persuasively.Think Clearly:The organization wants pro-life advocates to dialogue well with pro-choice people, and clear thinking goes hand-in-hand with good dialogue. Even when two people are being polite, their conversation will get stuck if they cant find clarity on where they disagree and why. The organization helps pro-life advocates not only to reason well through difficult arguments but also to ask the right kinds of questions so they become better at understanding different views.Reason Honestly:Part of reasoning well is being willing to evaluate arguments honestly. It is very easy to go into an argument with a predetermined conclusion, but doing this opens people up to self-deception. The organization encourages pro-life advocates to be open-minded, even about abortion. While this may seem to exhibit a lack of confidence that abortion is wrong, its actually quite the opposite: one shou

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Online Courses:The organization publishes a lot of its core content in online courses, a format that is helpful for systematically guiding people through a lot of information no matter where they are in the world. Online courses are scalable, meaning there is no artificial limit to how many people can be helped by them in the way that there are limits to how many people can attend a live speaking event by an ERI speaker. The organization published the Equipped for Life Course on practical dialogue tips and pro-life apologetics in 2016 and the Sidewalk Counseling Masterclass in 2019. The first course includes 38 lessons (making up about five hours of video content), along with group activities for students to digest the material by answering questions or practicing together. The second course includes 16 lessons (making up about seven hours of content), a workbook with organized notes, easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions, FAQs, and 40 practical tips. As of December 2023, 4,516 individuals were enrolled in at least one of the organization's online courses.The organization continued production and post-production work on its Equipped for Life Academy throughout 2023. This first-of-its-kind curriculum, which can be used as an elective course in a private Christian school, Catholic school, or homeschool setting, as well as in youth groups, will train high-school students in the best arguments and dialogue techniques to discuss abortion. It will also equip them with the historical and theological background, and the gentleness necessary to speak winsomely to their peers, parents, and teachers. The course is also designed with a mixed audience in mind; many students who take it will be pro-choice, and the goal is to teach those statudents about the pro-life position in a way that makes them more likely to choose it rather than raise their defenses against it.The organization is excited for the impending release of Equipped for Life Academy, which is scheduled for mid to late 2024.
