Mobilizing women to heal the nation
Mission:
Red Shoe Votes exists to inspire and mobilize women to heal the nation. We desire for all women to recognize that they are strategically positioned to make a difference wherever they are—home, business, education, government, arts, etc. As we love people and live by kingdom principles, one step at a time, we are causing ripples of transformation that will impact nations.
As women of the 21st century:
We believe in the sanctity of life—that all individuals have the right to life from the point of conception to death; therefore, no one has the right to take the life of another person through crime, abortion, euthanasia, or assisted suicide.
Additionally, we believe that the quality of life for every individual matters; therefore, we believe in addressing systemic issues like poverty, racism, and human trafficking, as well as advocating for biblically-based systems of education, healthcare, justice, economics, and government.
We believe that God entrusted humanity with the stewardship of the earth; therefore, we believe we have a responsibility to properly care for the environment and wisely use our natural resources.
We believe that God intentionally created human beings as male and female; therefore, the gender identity we are born with is not a mistake and is unchangeable. Additionally, we believe that God created men and women as equals; therefore, we believe in addressing systems, doctrines, and practices that treat women as inferior or less valuable.
We believe that the creator of the universe, Almighty God, has endowed these rights and responsibilities to all individuals:
1. Education:
We believe that every person has the right to an education in order to fulfill their God-given potential; therefore, we seek to establish educational systems that not only provide solid job skills, but also promote character development and critical thinking.
2. Family:
We believe that marriage between one man and one woman is the biblical foundation of the family. We acknowledge that many families have been fractured; therefore, we seek to extend support and promote wholeness for every parent desiring God’s best for their children.
We believe every person belongs in the fellowship of a family, regardless of age or marital status; therefore, we actively engage in building community and connecting the generations.
3. Government:
We believe that government is given by God to serve the people; therefore, we believe it is the right of every citizen—regardless of race, gender or economic status—to elect to public office those who will govern them.
We believe that Christians should not shrink back from serving in elected and appointed government offices, as this brings peace and justice to the land.
4. Church:
We believe that Jesus Christ is the one true God, the Creator and owner of the world. Every individual has the right to hear that Jesus is God and needs to personally accept Him as Savior.
We believe it is the role of the church to steward His world and represent His kingdom; therefore, it is the right of all people to have the freedom to share their faith in every institution of society.
5. Business:
We believe that biblical character and ethics are essential for the operation of righteous business to produce wealth. We believe it is the right of every person to have purposeful work with adequate provision; therefore, we believe we are called to eradicate systemic corruption and poverty.
6. Arts and Entertainment:
We believe that arts and entertainment are a means of celebrating our Creator and His creation.
We believe that arts and entertainment can provide rest and enjoyment, in addition to being an expression of the culture, and should be consistent with biblical worldview; therefore, we are committed to developing such expressions and fostering space for godly artists and entertainers to cultivate their gifts.
7. Media:
We believe it is the role of media to inform, educate, investigate and report on issues related to the establishment of righteousness and justice in society.
Fair and accurate reporting of the truth is essential for this to occur; therefore, we believe it is our right to freely express a biblical worldview through all media outlets and to disseminate information without censorship.
