The Biden Administration’s Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) just released a proposed guidance that includes two provisions for defining harassment in the workplace: pregnancy, including the decision to abort, and so-called “misgendering.”

The Commission is taking its orders from the Biden Administration’s radical gender playbook and bullying businesses and employees into denying biological realities and allowing men to use women’s restrooms.

To help us understand this radical guidance and other ways the administration is imposing radical pronoun policy, Roger Severino, the Vice President of Domestic Policy and The Joseph C. and Elizabeth A. Anderlik Fellow at The Heritage Foundation, will join FPA’s Director of Government Affairs, Ruth Ward, on our live podcast. The Pronoun Policy Police has no authority to force employees to adhere to Left-wing ideology.

Many Americans today are confronted with the tension of cultural issues bleeding into our workplace.

Unfortunately, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is putting teeth to these concerns by laying out a proposed enforcement guidance on so-called “harassment” in the workplace.

Tell the EEOC not to adopt this proposed guidance.

The EEOC just announced this month that two special provisions will be included when considering how businesses define harassment: pregnancy, including the decision to abort, and misgendering.

The Commission is taking its orders from the Biden Administration’s radical gender playbook and bullying businesses into adopting a definition of harassment in the workplace that includes calling someone by the wrong pronoun and allowing men to use women’s restrooms.

In the façade of so-called “equality” lies the truth that Americans are being forced to speak and think according to the script of radical gender and abortion advocates. Now, the EEOC wants to ensure businesses follow this mantra as dogma with little assurances for protecting people of faith.

Harassment should be taken seriously in the workplace. But, this proposal only distracts from these goals and puts women, minors in the workplace, and people of conviction and faith at risk.

Employees should not be forced to deny biological reality. No one should be forced to adhere to the pro-abortion-until-birth mantra of the left.

Tell Biden’s EEOC why policing pronouns is a bad idea.

Businesses should not be bullied into becoming the left-wing arm of the Biden Administration.

Thank you for speaking up,

Ruth Ward
Director, Government Affairs


 

I have a question for you. How do you think the government should provide services for the American people? I bet you probably didn’t think of “advancing dangerous gender ideology” as one of those services. But, that’s actually what the Biden administration wants to happen.

The administration is again attempting to redefine “sex” to include sexual orientation and gender identity. This time, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a rule to alter the definition for organizations that receive funding through grants.

HHS’s grants are critically important for families and children that need basic services, such as maternity care and mental health services. It also includes early childhood education services for low-income families through Head Start.

Somewhere along the way the Biden administration decided that it is more important for these non-profits and other organizations to promote transgenderism amongst families and minors than focus on providing necessary services for families in need.

Hear our analysis and learn how you can make a difference in today’s podcast episode! Family Policy Alliance’s Meridian Baldacci and Ruth Ward cover how this administration is  prioritizing a dangerous gender ideology, and what you can do to get  HHS back on track.

When you and I think of ways that the government provides services for the American people, we don’t count “advancing dangerous gender ideology” as one of those services. Unfortunately, though, that is what is happening.

The Biden administration is again attempting to redefine “sex” to include sexual orientation and gender identity. This time, Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released a rule to alter the definition for organizations that receive funding through HHS grants.

HHS’s grants are critically important for families and children that need basic services, such as maternity care and mental health services. It also includes early childhood education services for low-income families through Head Start.

Somewhere along the way the Biden administration decided that it is more important for these non-profits and other organizations to promote transgenderism amongst families and minors than focus on providing necessary services for families in need. That is unacceptable.

More and more states are passing legislation like Help Not Harm to put a stop to transgender interventions of minors, and you are a big part of that success. But now, the Biden administration wants to undermine those efforts by forcing non-profits to promote gender ideology. Please take a moment to tell the Biden administration that you do NOT want HHS grantees to be forced to agree with this radical ideology.

Comments are incredibly important and helpful. If you can share how these types of programs have impacted your life or the lives of those around you, those comments will be even more impactful. The comment portal closes at midnight on September 11, 2023. We started a comment for you, but please take a moment to share a personalized comment by the deadline. It only takes a minute in our Action Center.

Grant funds should be focused on serving families and children that need it the most—not promoting puberty blockers and gender ideology. Tell the Biden administration that you do not want this rule implemented.

Sincerely,

Ruth Ward

For the Woke Left, if a child hates her body, every medical professional in America should agree with her.

They should tell her that her body is “wrong” for her, prescribe her a cocktail of experimental hormones, sterilize her body before she even knows whether she’d like to have children of her own, and then remove her otherwise healthy (maybe not even developed) breasts and perhaps other body parts as well.

They believe that if she can look more like a man, she’ll be happy and whole—and she will then love her mutilated and altered body.

But it’s all a lie.

We know it’s a lie. Children who have gone through this devastation and “detransitioned” know it was a lie. And doctors not sold into the Woke agenda know that it’s a lie.

But the one-way road to “gender transition” was the only offer most of these deeply struggling children received—until three years ago.

Under the brave leadership of our state ally the Family Council and Representative Robin Lundstrum (an alum of Family Policy Foundation’s Statesmen Academy training program), Arkansas passed the first version of FPA’s model Help Not Harm law in 2021. This law prohibits medical professionals from transitioning children and gives children who have been harmed by these procedures the right to sue to recover damages.

Our friends in Arkansas graciously came back to help train the next classes of Statesmen Academy graduates and more of the state family policy council network in how to protect children from the transgender agenda by passing these Help Not Harm laws. And, we rallied more national allies to help see these laws across the finish lines in states around the nation.

The result? In only three years, the family policy movement went from one state protecting children from transgender experimentation to now twenty states with a version of Help Not Harm in law.

These laws protect nearly 100,000 children who were otherwise at risk of being sent down the one-way road to “gender transition.”

We are so grateful to God for this victory!

But yet, we know that leaves over 200,000 children who still need to be protected in the remaining 30 states.

We’ve done the math. We’ve demonstrated that our movement can save 1 child from the transgender agenda—and a lifetime of regret—for $360.

That’s $30/month or just $1/day.

These remaining 200,000+ children need to know that there’s hope beyond life-altering drugs and surgery.

Fall is when we train allies, lawmakers and others for the next legislative cycle, which begins in most states in January. We are rebuilding resources, equipping states, and preparing to protect these children who have been abandoned to Woke Extremism in the more “purple” and “blue” states. There’s no time to lose!

Will you help us protect one child from a lifetime of regret? If every family “adopted” one child, together we could push back this terrible agenda and give children far more hope and healing than what they find under the needle or the knife.

I can give a one-time gift of $360 for one child!

I can give $30/month for one child

I can protect more children with a one-time or monthly gift.

No child should carry lifelong regret.

Will you help one child today?

Gratefully,

Autumn Leva,
Sr. Vice President, Strategy

 

Last night, an incredible thing happened. North Carolina became the twentieth state with a Help Not Harm law, even overriding their governor’s veto to do so. That means that across the nation, millions of children are now protected from transgender procedures.

And this is not a fringe issue or a partisan victory. 60% of the states with Help Not Harm laws passed them with support from both Republicans and Democrats, and 20% of Help Not Harm states overrode their governors’ vetoes to pass these laws.

YOU made this milestone possible. With each email you sent your lawmakers in our Action center, time you showed up at your Capitol with your state’s Family Policy Council, generously gave toward the cause, or prayed for these laws to pass, you were protecting children. Because of you, children in 20 states have the opportunity to grow up with their bodies free from the irreversible harm and heavy baggage of so-called ‘gender transition.’

WATCH and SHARE this 2-minute video to celebrate your victory protecting children!

Here at Family Policy Alliance, with your support, we first drafted model legislation on this issue in 2017. In 2021, Arkansas became the first state to pass a Help Not Harm-style law (made possible by the state’s Family Council, alongside Rep. Robin Lundstrum, an alumna of Family Policy Foundation’s Statesmen Academy). Then, this year, the movement took hold of the nation.

This win wouldn’t have been possible without a groundswell of support at the state level. These victories happened because of the tireless work of Family Policy Councils and lawmakers (many of them alumni of the Statesmen Academy) across those twenty states. The men and women who have courageously supported this legislation are heroes. They know – just as you do – that 50 years from now, our nation will look back and see transitioning children as one of the great medical scandals of our age. At Family Policy Alliance, we are honored to be among those speaking out against injustice, and we greatly commend those who have risked their careers and even their personal safety to do the same.

And ultimately, we praise God for his gracious work in making this milestone possible. A victory of this size is exceedingly rare in the political realm, and we know a result this big was only possible because of His work.

The 20 states with Help Not Harm-like laws are Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah.

 

Where do we go from here? 20 states is a great accomplishment, but we’re just getting started. Our vision is that one day, every child in America will be protected and transitioning children will be unthinkable.

Whatever your role in this milestone, thank you. You are helping to spare children from unthinkable and lasting harm. And, if you want to help further our work to protect children nationwide, you can partner with us here.

Praising God for His victory,

Craig DeRoche
President & CEO

President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recently issued guidelines on lactation and infant feeding that encourage biological males to “chestfeed” children and recommend that healthcare professionals endorse this behavior. The guidelines promote an experimental process that induces lactation in men with a drug cocktail consisting of heavy doses of hormones, anti-psychotics, and sedatives.

There is an incredible lack of scientific research on this treatment, but what we do know doesn’t look good. These drugs risk blood clots in the transgender-identifying individuals and can cause irregular heartbeats in the babies ingesting the milk. And, there is no scientific consensus about the nutritional value of the milk produced.

Promoting harmful experiments on children seems par for the course in the Biden Administration. For years they’ve advocated for hormone cocktails and invasive surgeries like double-mastectomies on young girls in the name of “gender transition,” both of which leave children sterile. Now, they are promoting even more experimental drugs to induce false lactation in men, failing to care about the effects on the health of either the men or the babies.

Dear Friends,

We have an urgent request for your help.

President Biden’s Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) recently issued guidelines on lactation and infant feeding that encourage biological males to “chestfeed” children and recommend that healthcare professionals endorse this behavior.

We urgently need your help to protect infants from these harmful & politically motivated “guidelines.”

These guidelines risk the health and safety of nursing children and even of individuals who identify as transgender. The guidelines promote an experimental process that induces lactation in men with a drug cocktail consisting of heavy doses of hormones, anti-psychotics, and sedatives.

This process is highly experimental—including the use of one drug that isn’t even approved by Biden’s own FDA. This means that there are likely many side effects that we don’t even know of. But, here’s what we do know: the drugs risk blood clots in the transgender-identifying individuals and irregular heartbeats in babies.

And the issues don’t stop there. Doctors have admonished the CDC for failing to study the long-term health risks associated with these chemicals — both for the adults taking them, and importantly for the children drinking the chemically-induced milk. Additionally, there is no scientific consensus about the nutritional value of the milk produced. The CDC only cites one reported case of a biological male “chestfeeding,” demonstrating the incredible lack of scientific research on this topic.

Despite this, the CDC promoted “chestfeeding” as beneficial to the child and parent.

Promoting harmful experiments on children seems par for the course in the Biden Administration. For years they’ve advocated for hormone cocktails and invasive surgeries like double-mastectomies on young girls in the name of “gender transition,” both of which leave children sterile  Now, they are promoting even more experimental drugs to induce false lactation in men, failing to care about the effects on the health of either the men or the babies.

Children who struggle to embrace their own bodies are suffering for the sake of political ideology pushed by the Left. Now, that same activist lobby is going after infants who desperately need healthy milk and nutrients to grow.

Children’s access to basic nutrition should not be politicized. Help protect children and adults from these experimental drugs.

Please send a message to the CDC’s Director of the Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity, Dr. Ruth Petersen, today telling her to remove these harmful guidelines. By doing so, you will help ensure that these guidelines help, not harm, children and families.

Sincerely,
Joseph Kohm

Dear Louisiana Friends,

Along with our allies at Louisiana Family Forum, we have an update and urgent request for your help.

Governor John Bel Edwards has chosen to veto the Stop Harming Our Kids Act (H.B. 648), a bill that protects our children from the irreversible harm of gender ‘reassignment’ drugs and surgical castration . Who could have imagined that these harmful, experimental procedures would be considered a medical standard of practice and defended by Gov. Edwards?  You helped us get this bill passed, and now we need your help once again to get it across the finish line!

The effort to override Gov. Edwards’s veto will begin July 18th, and we need you to contact your legislators and urge them to vote “Yes.”

The Stop Harming Our Kids Act is based on our model Help Not Harm Bill. It would prevent healthcare practitioners from performing dangerous, irreversible gender transition surgeries on children, including mastectomies or “top surgery.” It would also prohibit treating children with hormone therapy and other nonsurgical gender transition procedures that cause irreversible effects like infertility and body changes. Finally, it would hold doctors accountable by providing a way to sue doctors that perform these procedures on children.

Help prevent Louisiana from becoming a destination state in the Gulf South for childhood medical experimentation.  Our kids deserve to be kept safe from predatory medical procedures. Please send a message to your legislator today telling him or her to support H.B. 648!

By doing so, you will help ensure Louisiana law helps, not harms, our kids.

Sincerely,
Joseph Kohm

Dear Friends,

Along with our allies at North Carolina Family Policy Council, we have an update and urgent request for your help.

Governor Roy Cooper has vetoed three important bills that the North Carolina legislature passed to protect our women and children. These bills are a Health Not Harm bill (HB 808), the Parental Bill of Rights (SB 49), and the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act (HB 574). Now we need your help to get these bills across the finish line!

The effort to override Gov. Cooper’s veto could begin at any time, and we need you to contact your legislators and urge them to vote to override these vetoes.

The Help Not Harm Bill would prevent healthcare practitioners from performing dangerous, irreversible gender transition surgeries on children, including mastectomies or “top surgery.” It would also prohibit prescribing children with experimental hormones that cause irreversible effects like infertility and body changes. Finally, it holds doctors accountable by providing a way to sue doctors that perform these procedures on children.

The Parental Bill of Rights affirms parents’ Constitutional right to direct the upbringing of their children. It ensures parental involvement in their child’s education and allows parents to enforce their rights by bringing an action against the school for violations of the Act. Finally, the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act protects female athletes from having to compete against biologically male athletes in K-12 education and at the collegiate level. This protects the safety and scholarships of female athletes, as males retain many biological advantages even after hormone therapy, especially following puberty.

Our kids deserve to be kept safe from harmful, experimental gender transition procedures and predatory medical procedures. Our women and girls deserve a level playing field in sports. Please send a message to your legislators today telling him or her to support the veto overrides!

Sincerely,
Joseph Kohm
