Texas Values President Jonathan Saenz held up signs in favor of #SB14 and simply tried to walk to the Texas House Gallery with our message. While the other side was chanting "No place for hate!" our team ironically, was met with hate, aggression, foul language and threats! Thank you Senator Donna Campbell & Representative Tom Oliverson for authoring this bill to protect children from undergoing dangerous, expensive, and irreversible surgeries.
"We Will Not Be Intimidated!"

Pray that #SB14 Pass as it Heads Back to the House Floor Today!

Sign the petition #SaveWomensSports on our webpage and let your voice be heard!

The Texas Values team is working long 12+ hour days at the Texas State Capitol to keep YOU informed of the important issues taking place during the 88th Legislative Session.

On Tuesday of last week, as the Texas House considered SB 14, a bill to protect kids from harmful and dangerous gender mutilation and modification operations, drugs and procedures, a large group of protestors gathered in the Capitol to oppose passage of the bill. 

As has been the case in state capitols across the country, the protestors became unruly as the legislators considered the bill. The crowd was so aggressive that the Speaker of the House eventually called for the gallery to be cleared. The situation then degraded to the point that DPS officers had to forcibly remove, and even arrest, some of the protestors. 

Even as protestors sought to spread chaos, pastors affiliated with the Church Ambassador Network were meeting with and ministering to Members. With less than a month remaining in the legislative session, the Church Ambassador Network will continue to bring calm in the chaos as we share Christ in the Capitol.

Find out how you can get involved with the Church Ambassador Network.

"What’s being done to these kids...this is really a crime against humanity...it’s really important that we stand strong...I’m encouraged about what’s happening in Texas, we’re on the right side of history and I think we’re going to win this one." Jon Schweppe
