Dear Jack,

We’re making real, lasting change—and today proves it.

Earlier this afternoon, the NC House passed the Parents Protection Act (SB 442)—a critical win for parental rights in our state. This bill protects parents who raise their child consistent with their child’s biological sex from losing custody of their child.

The bill is important to parental rights, because it establishes that parents have the right to raise their children in accordance with their biological sex and not to affirm the child’s gender identity. Parents should be able to make decisions for the well-being of their children without fear of the government taking their child away. It also establishes that prospective adoptive parents cannot be discriminated against because they won’t support the child’s gender transition. This bill has now passed both the House and the Senate, and it will go to the Governor for his signature. The bill was extremely popular in the General Assembly, with all Republicans who were present voting for it, and nine House Democrats voting for it. It will be a hard bill for Governor Stein to veto with so much support.

And that’s not the only victory today. Just hours ago, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling in United States v. Skrmetti, allowing Tennessee—and other states like ours—to protect children from harmful gender transition procedures.

In 2023, NC Values led the way to pass HB 808, Gender Transition/Minors into law in NC, which prohibits medical gender transitioning of minors through either hormones or surgeries that permanently mutilate the bodies of young people. The Skrmetti case settles the pending lawsuit against our NC law, with its finding that these types of restrictions on harmful medical procedures are constitutional.

And thanks to your faithful support, we had a voice in the case.

Our 501(c)(3) sister organization, the NC Values Institute (NCVI), filed an important amicus brief urging the Court to affirm Tennessee’s right to shield minors from dangerous drugs and surgeries. We stood alongside heroes like North Carolina’s Prisha Mosley, who began hormone treatments at 17, underwent a double mastectomy at 18, and now regrets the irreversible harm.

You can read our amicus brief in US v. Skrmetti here ([link removed]) .

This is one of over 50 amicus briefs NC Values and the NC Values Institute have submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court, federal appellate courts, and state supreme courts—defending life, family, and freedom in the legal battles that shape our nation’s future.

These victories are part of a clear pattern: we’re changing law and culture—judicially and legislatively.

Over 50 amicus briefs. Dozens of pro-family bills. We couldn’t do this without you. Producing these briefs and advancing legislation is costly and time-consuming. Will you give today to support our ongoing legal and legislative advocacy by making a gift to NC Values ([link removed]) or a tax deductible gift to our sister organization, the NC Values Institute ([link removed]) ?

Thank you for helping us fight for truth—one court case at a time.
