Dear First Presidency,
As leaders of the Corporation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, you state that our church is the gold standard in protecting children from child abuse. In order to achieve that goal, all members, including leaders, must report child abuse immediately. Everyone working with children and youth should undergo a background check. No one with a history of child abuse should work with kids, and bishops should not meet alone with children in one-on-one worthiness interviews.
You claim to be a world leader in humanitarian work, but less than 1% of our tithes are used for that purpose. With the great wealth of our church, we know the church could dedicate 25% of its income to that purpose, and many lives would be saved.
Until you decide to protect the children in our children and help the poor and needy as Jesus said we should do, we will be donating our tithes to organizations that do just that and have financial records that prove that they do so.
Sincerely,
Many faithful LDS members
