Dear John,
This summer, the Left's extreme and dangerous sexual agenda has been revealed as never before.
Last week, I shared how Americans are beginning to wake up to "woke" corporations force feeding gender identity ideology and other radical viewpoints to our families and children.
One way concerned citizens are pushing back is by making their voices heard -- like the almost 23,000 FRC supporters like you who signed our petition to Target calling on them to stop targeting our children with LGBTQ+ agenda indoctrination after they decided to design and sell "Pride" clothing for children.
Last Tuesday our team attempted to deliver the petitions to Target's lobbyist here in Washington, D.C. But they literally shut the door on us -- unwilling to face the music of their own bad decisions.
Our team returned the next day, and this time Target received the petitions and FRC ensured your concerns were heard.
Those who are pushing radical sexual ideologies don't want to hear the truth. So, it's going to take commitment, consistency, and courage from Christians across America standing up for biblical truth to make a difference in our culture for our children.
When you partner with FRC through prayer, donations, and action, you are ensuring that more believers are educated and equipped to take a stand. Will you give your most generous gift today to accelerate our vital mission?

As a renewed wave of awareness has emboldened parents to speak up and protect their children, the headlines could hardly be worse for LGBTQ activists.
On June 10, a cycling race in a small North Carolina town made national news as another example of a biological male competing as a woman -- and winning by a huge margin.
Austin Killips, 27, who identifies as a "transgender woman," registered as a female when entering the third annual Belgian Waffle Ride in Hendersonville. According to news reports, Killips "surged ahead" shortly after the start of the race and beat the second-place female finisher by five minutes.
Killips won $5,000 for the first-place finish, saying, "I am just really proud to lay it out there and get the result." One month prior, in a nationally known cycling race in New Mexico, Killips competed in the women's category and took home $35,000 in prize money.
Tennis star and nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova, who has been outspoken against "open sport" athletic competitions, shared the story and tweeted: "What a joke." Similarly, two-time Olympic marathon runner Mara Yamauchi posted: "Man explains how he won a women's cycling race. #SaveWomensSports."
Days later, Gallup released the results of a new survey that found 69 percent of Americans agreed with the statement that "transgender athletes should only be allowed to compete on sports teams that conform with their birth gender." That's an increase of 7 percent from just two years ago.
Gallup researchers concluded that laws protecting women's sports "are aligned with public opinion." FRC supporters like you are starting to win this important public policy debate that impacts our children and families!
Will you stand with FRC today to help us educate and mobilize Americans with the truth?

Women's sports is an important education opportunity for Americans seemingly undecided on these issues. It shows that the Left's goal has never been to merely get acceptance for their LGBTQ+ ideology but to silence any voice speaking the scientific facts about human biology and the differences between the sexes.
FRC has been leading the charge on multiple fronts, bringing expertise to state legislators and policymakers in the policy arena. Our team also provides resources to conservative stockholders seeking to correct the course of powerful corporations being swayed by well-funded LGBTQ activists.
Now, many Americans finally appear to be waking up to this ideological onslaught.
But we find that lies have crept into the culture and even local churches. Many Christians lack a solid biblical foundation from which to analyze cultural trends.
Educating pastors and church leaders on the spiritual nature of these ideological battles is a big part of FRC's mission!
So what can each of us do? To respond as faithful people, first, we must approach everything with prayer.
Each of us will personally give an answer to the Lord for how we live our lives -- including how we spend our money. This is an issue of stewardship, so follow His leading. The big question you need to ask yourself is: Am I going to give my money to those who actively undermine my biblical values?
I am so grateful for friends and fellow believers like you who recognize the need for each of us to be salt and light in our culture. That is our aim and prayer every day in our work.
Thank you for partnering with FRC through prayer and support in this critical hour!
