If you read Family Policy Alliance emails, you saw the news late last week.
California Governor Gavin Newsom approved a new law that will allow the state of California to acquire custody of children from other states in order to perform gender transition procedures on them, even if their parents object.
It really is tragic and unbelievably arrogant – but it gets worse.
You see, seemingly responsible adults at places like Facebook and their allied “fact checkers” who should also know better are choosing to ignore the dangerous truth about this new law.
And for political reasons, they go a step further to claim that the law does not do what it says.
You can see here where they have used the tools at their disposal to try to censor the information that we shared. By falsely alleging that we are “missing context” they are trying to convince readers that facts don’t matter and what California has done is perfectly normal.
This is why we need your help.
If you really look – Facebook never disputed what Family Policy Alliance wrote. Their “fact-check” was intended to create confusion in the minds of readers, but the headline of their “clarification” simply reaffirms what we stated.
California is brazenly taking custody of children, over their parents’ objections and the legal authority of their home states, in order to “transition” them.
Here is the headline from their “Fact Check” article.
But isn’t that what we’ve come to expect from social media giants courting liberal politicians?
They have a clear political agenda, and using a “fact check” to cast a negative cloud over the truth is one of their favorite tactics.
We need your help to push back.
We are up against a lucrative agenda that has enlisted the media, big tech, government, politicians, and even professional medical groups in efforts to normalize transgender procedures for children and to hide the truth about their harms. I hate to use the term brainwashing – but that really is their tactic.
That is why Family Policy Alliance needs your help.
Every dollar helps us push back the Facebook censors to reach more people, train our allies—including elected policymakers—in how to respond, and prepare other states to stop California from harming their children.
We expect other states to do the same thing that California has done, and we must be prepared to respond and act.
This is inside information…we have a plan (already in motion) to protect children and we need your help to keep the momentum going. Can you be a part of the movement to counter the tactics we face?
Sincerely,
Robert Noland

Late last night, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California signed a bill into law that is a potential threat to any family in every other state.
This hours-old California law lets the state of California take custody of children from other states in order to do gender transition procedures – including puberty blockers, sterilizing cross-sex hormones, and irreversible surgeries – all without the parents’ knowledge or consent.
Essentially, it creates a transgender sanctuary that will serve as a magnet for minors whose parents won’t allow them to mutilate their bodies. This new law essentially brings the ultimate cancel culture right to the front door of every parent in the nation.
It also means that California has become the official state sponsor for transgederism’s cultish targeting of children in 49 other states.
The threat is real – and it is nationwide!
Family Policy Alliance is working right now to bolster state laws to protect against this radical threat. And we’re working with allies on Capitol Hill for a federal response – since this is a threat that crosses state lines.
Will you stand with us? We need your help for the huge state-by-state fight ahead!
- Some liberal states will try to follow California’s lead, making the threat even more accessible for many transgender-minded youth. We need your help to rally public opposition so that politicians in those states see and feel how radical and controversial this is.
- Some of our Statesmen Academy graduates in conservative states – along with our allied state organizations – are already working on legislative ideas to shield their state’s children from California’s threat. But that is a big undertaking and will take resources to get it done.
California politicians have taken their swing. Now it’s our turn to bat. Will you stand with us?
Sincerely,
Craig DeRoche
President & CEO
P.S. If you live in California – as so many good people do – please do not lose heart! We are working closely (even late last night and this morning) with our allies at California Family Council. Wherever you live – blue state, red state or in between – keep shining the light and standing strong!
California lawmakers want to kidnap your kids.
A recently-passed bill, SB 107, would allow California to kidnap kids from around the nation to perform gender “transitions” on them.
If a girl in Ohio, for example, had parents who wisely did not want her to go on testosterone, California might take custody of that girl and give her testosterone in California.
All that stands in the way of that reality? A governor’s signature.
Join us TODAY for a critical discussion about this dangerous bill, what you can do to help stop it, and what it will mean for YOUR family if it goes into law.
California Wants Your Kids
A Conversation with Jonathan Keller
Friday, September 23
11:30 am ET / 10:30 am CT / 9:30 am MT / 8:30 am PT
Live on Facebook, YouTube, and right here
Join us as our CEO Craig DeRoche talks with Jonathan Keller, President of California Family Council (our state ally in California). Jonathan has led the charge against SB 107 in his state, and is calling on parents around the nation to take a stand.
Jonathan Keller is President of California Family Council, Family Policy Alliance’s state ally in the Golden State. Prior to joining California Family Council, Jonathan led at Right to Life of California. In his two decades of experience in the pro-family space, Jonathan has been a part of many key battles in California, and has become a familiar voice for leaders across the country.
If this bill becomes law, it will be an unprecedented challenge to parental rights from one state to the rest of the nation. Come join us to learn more about this urgent threat.
We’ll see you soon on Facebook, YouTube, or our website! (Seeing this late? You can still watch at the same links!)

P.S. If you haven’t already, click here to sign our open letter to Governor Gavin Newsom.
Your daughter says she wants to “transition” to living as a boy. As a wise and loving parent, you graciously but firmly say “no.”
What happens next?
If a new bill becomes law in California, your daughter could flee to California and seek transgender drugs and surgery, getting court protection to do so – all without your consent.
According to California Family Council (our state ally leading the charge against this bill):
“Senator Scott Wiener’s bill, SB 107, would empower California courts to take ‘temporary emergency jurisdiction’ of children if they come to California for trans-drugs, surgery, or mental healthcare. The bill calls these treatments ‘gender-affirming care.’
Courts would also be instructed to ignore the fact that a child has been kidnapped from the parent or parents with legal custody, if the minor comes to the state for gender transitioning.”
All that stands between now and that reality? A governor’s signature. This is a serious threat to parental rights and to the well-being of struggling children across America.
Please sign our open letter to California Governor Gavin Newsom NOW asking him to veto this bill! This is not just a California issue—this is a parents’ issue and this is a child protection issue.
Many times we hear about radical anti-family policies advancing in California. The rest of the nation breathes a sigh of relief that they don’t live in California. Maybe they even live in Arkansas, the first state to bravely stand in the gap for children and prohibit “transitioning” on minors. But if this bill passes in California, it won’t matter where we live. California is brazenly attempting to insert its radical policies into the rest of the nation—even rubber-stamping the kidnapping of your kids for the purpose of dangerous gender transition to do it.
Governor Newsom could sign this any day – time is working against us.
Sign onto our letter NOW – it takes less than a minute, and this is a critical threat to parental rights!
Standing with you,
Craig DeRoche
CEO and President

Please send a message to California Governor Gavin Newsom NOW and ask him to veto this bill!
Our legislature is determined to make California a gender transition orphanage for the rest of the country—stripping parents in other states of their rightful and protective custody of their children.
