Dear John,

We are thanking the Lord for the victories gained so far this year for faith, family, and freedom.

• A state law protecting minors from experimental "gender transition" drugs and surgeries, which is a policy area FRC helped catalyze years ago, was upheld at the US Supreme Court.
• FRC's work in exposing the Biden administration's funding of abortion and LGBTQ priorities at the State Department was instrumental in halting or slowing the funding for these anti-family programs.
• FRC succeeded in getting the defunding of Planned Parenthood and gender transition surgeries into the House version of the One Big Beautiful Bill.

While there is much more, our focus is not on what has been, but on what will be.

And I want you to know: your faithfulness is making a difference.

In Colorado, a law was passed that bans counselors from helping individuals walk away from a transgender identity -- even when that's exactly what the individual desires.

Family Research Council just filed a critical amicus brief in this case, defending the First Amendment rights of Christian counselors and those seeking freedom from gender confusion.

Our brief, based on the research of Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, Director of FRC's Center for Family Studies, exposes how professional associations are relying on ideology -- not science -- to promote radical gender claims. It also highlights the necessity of counselors being free to explore the role that trauma may have played in leading people into gender dysphoria

By bringing light to this critical situation, you and I are standing for truth -- truth that has the power to bring healing.

But this is just one battle in a much larger war.

Across America, children are being led astray, truth is being suppressed, and the family is being redefined by activists who reject biblical values. You and I must not shrink back.

And here's why today is so important:

Midnight tonight is the deadline to DOUBLE your impact through a generous $1.5 Million Challenge Match.

That means any gift you give by the end of the day will go twice as far to defend the family and advance biblical truth.

YES, I'LL DOUBLE MY IMPACT BEFORE MIDNIGHT

And when you give today -- before the $1.5 Million Challenge Match deadline -- we'll also send you our digital Family Prayer Guide so you can continue defending your family through the power of prayer.

Your faithfulness is advancing real, measurable change across our nation. Here are just a few of the ways you are making a difference:

• You're empowering Christian parents and pastors with biblical worldview training through FRC's God & Government video series

• You're fueling policy work to defund Planned Parenthood and gender transition procedures and redirect taxpayer funds away from abortion providers

• You're protecting children through the advancement of SAFE Act-type legislation in 27 states, shielding kids from radical gender procedures

• You're raising up the next generation of Christian leaders through FRC's internship program

• You're covering our nation's leaders in strategic intercession through prayer initiatives like Operation Prayer Shield and the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance

• You're standing with Israel in bold defense of the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria

• You're proclaiming truth and countering media misinformation through The Washington Stand and Washington Watch

These victories are only possible because of the prayers, generosity, and conviction of friends like you.

But as progress is made, the battle is intensifying.

And today -- our final opportunity to double our impact -- we can rise to meet this moment.

RUSH MY GIFT -- DEFEND THE FAMILY BEFORE THE DEADLINE

Thank you for standing boldly in this critical hour. Whether you've supported this mission for years or you're joining this fight for the first time, your faithfulness is making an eternal difference.

Every prayer you've lifted... every dollar you've given... every stand you've taken for truth -- it all matters. Your obedience in this cultural moment is not only defending today's families but sowing seeds for generations to come.

You and I were called for such a time as this.

Together let's defend the family, proclaim the truth, and shape the future -- one generation, one policy, one heart at a time.

Your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
