CALCAP

Faith-Forward When the Enemy Comes to Steal, 
We Stand to Protect -
California Needs a Righteous Response.

Let’s be real - California is in the middle of an epidemic when it comes to alcohol and drug addiction. Families are hurting, communities are unraveling, and lives created in the image of God are being exploited by systems that profit from addiction.

That’s why at CALCAP, we fight for the people—not big alcohol. Grounded in faith, we believe in protecting the vulnerable, speaking truth to power, and pursuing justice. Our focus is on lobbying against the overly loose laws that make alcohol too easy to access and abuse—laws that ignore the faith-based call to care for our neighbors and guard against stumbling blocks.

Now, here’s something important - because CALCAP is a lobbying group, donations to us are not tax-deductible. But—good news!—you can still make a difference by giving to ANEFCA (Alcohol-Narcotic Education Foundation of California).

ANEFCA is our educational arm - a fully tax-deductible nonprofit that works across California to equip communities with truth, wisdom, and resources. We teach about the dangers and abuse of alcohol and narcotics, because Scripture calls us to be watchful, to protect the body, and to renew minds.

Together, CALCAP and ANEFCA are tackling this crisis from both sides -  policy and education—with a shared mission rooted in a "dignity for all   conviction" to defend life, restore hope, and stand firm against the forces that tear families apart.

Fighting for
Stronger Laws

Alcohol is one of the most easily accessible—and abused—substances in our state. CALCAP works tirelessly in Sacramento to close loopholes and push for laws that protect families and communities from the devastating effects of addiction. We believe people should come first, not profit margins.

Educating to
Save Lives

Through ANEFCA, our tax-deductible nonprofit, we go into schools, communities, and organizations across California to teach the truth about alcohol and narcotics. Knowledge is power, and by raising awareness, we’re preventing abuse before it starts. Every seminar, classroom visit, and community workshop is a step toward a healthier California. 

Partnering with
People Like You

Real change doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens when citizens, educators, leaders, and families join together. Your support, whether through advocacy with CALCAP or tax-deductible donations to ANEFCA, helps us continue the fight on two fronts: lobbying for stronger protections and spreading life-saving education. Together, we can turn the tide against addiction

What we do at...

CCAGE

We help Protect California families from the spiritual and societal harms of predatory gambling.

As a faith-based organization, we believe every person is created in the image of God and deserves dignity, freedom, and hope. We educate, advocate, and speak truth to power—because when gambling expands, it exploits the vulnerable and undermines the values that hold communities together. Our mission is to keep California focused on righteousness, justice, and compassion.

Protecting Families from Financial Ruin

Gambling is designed to take—not give. Whether it’s the lottery, casinos, or online sports betting, the odds are stacked against everyday people. At CCAGE, we work to help families hold onto their hard-earned money instead of watching it disappear into a system built to exploit them. Families thrive when money goes toward food, housing, education, and savings—not games of chance.

Stopping the Spread of Gambling Addiction

Online gambling and legalized betting make it easier than ever for people to get hooked—and harder than ever to break free. Gambling addiction doesn’t just drain bank accounts; it destroys marriages, breaks trust, and shatters homes. CCAGE is committed to blocking the expansion of legalized gambling so fewer people fall into the trap in the first place. Prevention is protection.

Keeping Communities Safe from Crime

Gambling isn’t just a personal issue—it’s a community issue. Illegal bookie operations, organized crime, and the dark side of online gambling bring corruption, violence, and exploitation into California neighborhoods. CCAGE works to expose and oppose these dangers, advocating for safer, healthier communities where families can prosper without gambling-related crime in their backyard.
