Dear Fellow American,
In California, AB 495, California’s new law— that was just signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom—puts parents at risk of losing their child with just a simple, one-page affidavit from someone who claims to be a distant relative of the child.
Think that won’t be abused? Think again. One pro-family organization likens AB 495 to a legal form of “kidnapping.” And remember—California is a “sanctuary” state, meaning children can receive dangerous cross-sex hormones, puberty blockers, or even harmful procedures, without parental permission. That’s a law that must be struck down or repealed.
Earlier this year, in Colorado, legislators debated a proposal that would have allowed the government to remove children from their parents … for “misgendering” them.
You read that right.
This was a blatant attempt to intimidate parents into accepting and promoting radical gender ideology—without regard to the physical, emotional, and spiritual harm caused to children.
You can stop the madness of gender ideology and protect parental rights with a gift of just $50 right now. Your generosity empowers dedicated advocates in states across the country to take a fine-tooth comb to these proposed laws, challenge them in legislative committee hearings, and partner with allies to stand against them.
Plus, when you give today, your generosity will make TWICE the impact, thanks to a generous friend of the ministry who is willing to MATCH whatever you give for a limited time. Your $50 becomes $100 toward ensuring that parents and kids are protected against these proposed laws before it’s too late. Act now—this matching opportunity will only last as long as funds remain available.
DOUBLE MY GIFT
A nightmare scenario.
Imagine your teenage daughter is struggling with depression, anxiety, even confusion about her identity. She’s been told by people they trusted that perhaps she was “born in the wrong body.” As a loving parent, you try to help her navigate these difficult and confusing feelings.
Yet, one day you’re informed that your child won’t be coming home from school, because she has been removed from your care. Why? Because you “misgendered” her. Or you referred to her by her given name.
That’s the reality for a growing number of families.
In states like Minnesota, Oregon and Colorado, lawmakers have debated, and in some cases passed, laws that are separating kids from their parents—if the parents won’t “affirm” a new name or identity for their child.
No investigation. No court order. No trial. In some cases, no notification.
This isn’t just a constitutional issue, it’s a threat to the family itself.
Governments have no right to ignore parental rights in service of a radical ideology that denies truth and biology.
We’ve got to stop these laws before they hurt more families.
That’s why I’m asking you to act right now—just $50 helps ensure that everyday families have a voice in states across the country. We can remind lawmakers that parents—not governments—have the God-given right to raise the next generation.
Don’t forget—your gift today will be DOUBLED by a generous friend of the ministry, but only as long as their matching funds last.
Be the fierce advocate these families need. Your help is urgently needed now. Many state legislatures will soon be back in session, and now is the time to prepare. Families are counting on you and me to protect their rights.
In Christ,

P.S. State laws continue to push radical agendas and divide loving parents from their children in service of radical ideologies. Your gift of just $50 can be transformed into $100, thanks to a special matching grant, and help stop bad laws before it’s too late.
