Social conservatives are more organized than they’ve been in decades as they mobilize to get their core issues integrated into the Conservative Party’s platform at its upcoming convention, according to a leading advocacy group for SoCon issues.

“Social conservatives are revitalized across the country. I think they’re engaged more than they have been in 30 years,” said Jack Fonseca, director of political operations for Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), a pro-life advocacy group representing around 270,000 members.
