Twitter Hasn't Backed Down-Join Us Live at 12 PM ET!
Remember when Twitter locked our friends at Focus on the Family out of
one of their accounts? Twitter made this decision because a post on
the account correctly referred to one Biden nominee as a biological
male who identifies as a woman.

Nearly four months later, Focus on the Family's The Daily
Citizen is still locked out of their Twitter account.
When the account was first blocked, many of you joined us in jumping
into action and coming to Focus on the Family's defense. You
signed our petition to Twitter, and you joined us in challenging
Twitter: #AreWeNext? Because if stating simple biological
facts gets you banned on Twitter, none of us belongs there.
Our tweet reached well

over a half million impressions, inspiring even Members of Congress to
join in-along with many of our friends leading the state family
policy councils and other national organizations doing outstanding
work. Together, we all sent a strong message!
The Daily Citizen has now been locked out of their account for over
three months. During that time, tens of thousands of you have signed
our petition to Twitter, and other organizations signed our formal
letter to Twitter, encouraging Twitter to reconsider how it blocks
user content. In all, over 50,000 of you signed the Family Policy
Alliance petition to Twitter, calling on them to reconsider their
position, especially in blocking Focus on the Family's account.
The time has come for us to deliver those letters and your petition to
Twitter....which we did just yesterday.
Additionally, we were joined by a few leaders from other outstanding
organizations who share our values, like Concerned Women for America,
in requesting an official meeting with Twitter's policy team to
discuss these issues. We hope Twitter will be willing to engage with
us, and we will keep you updated on whether they grant our meeting
request!
In the meantime, we hope you'll join us for a discussion hosted
by the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) about how the Body of
Christ should respond when Tech giants like Twitter block user content
in a biased way.

The discussion features Autumn Leva of Family Policy Alliance, Ryan
Anderson of The Ethics and Public Policy Center and Jason Thacker of The Ethics
and Religious Liberty Commission. The NRB will ask questions like:
* How should Christian ministries and organizations think about
the power of Big Tech?
* Should we engage and advocate with the tech platforms?
* Should we regulate Big Tech platforms?
* Are reforms to Section 230 necessary?
* How do we balance the free speech of corporations with the free
speech of individuals?
