At Family Policy Alliance, we are blessed to receive questions from hundreds of families across the nation every year. I’d like to share with you two of the most frequent questions we receive—and maybe you’ve had them too.
- Why can’t more Christian or like-minded organizations work together on common issues?
- What is actually happening with this transgender issue (that feels like it came out of nowhere), and how do I handle it with the children I love?
We’d like to invite you to the first-ever Help Not Harm Summit to help answer those two questions!

The Help Not Harm Summit peels back the transgender ideology to help busy parents (or anyone concerned about the issue!) understand what’s going on—what the issue is really about, what’s happening in schools, what is the right way to talk about it medically, how to talk to your child, how to make a difference, and more.
Here’s a quick summary of some of the sessions you can choose from and what to expect:
Help Not Harm Summit Kickoff Rally!
Hear from Family Policy Alliance’s CEO Craig DeRoche, Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance, American Principles Project, and Christian Medical & Dental Associations. They will help us start the day out right giving an overview of the importance of this issue. It’s a virtual “rally” to protect children!
This issue isn’t just a moral one—it’s bigger
Hear from John Stonestreet of the Colson Center on why there’s more to this issue than meets the eye.
A view from D.C. – hear from Members of Congress
Join our guests, a U.S. Senator and two U.S. Representatives, who will share about what’s going on in DC and how there are still Members of Congress who care about protecting children.
How can YOU make a difference with this ideology sweeping the nation?
Join our “Bootcamp” to hear from state family policy council leaders—perhaps in your state—on what can actually be done at the local level!
How do I talk to the children I love about sex and gender issues?
It’s a common question, and our friends at Focus on the Family are here to help!
When a child is struggling with gender dysphoria, what can a parent do to help?
Most of the resources and “medical associations” out there push struggling children to make drastic changes to themselves and their bodies. It doesn’t have to be that way, and these experts bring the facts.
Let’s STOP all this experimenting on children’s bodies!
One state did just that! Their lawmakers managed to pass a law banning gender transition procedures on minors—with the help and support of the grassroots, including parents and the state’s Family Council. Find out which state and be inspired to lead the charge to bring this law to your own!
Dig deeper—what’s the truth about transitioning medically?
Get a doctor’s perspective on transition and learn the real truth about what happens to children’s bodies when on experimental puberty blocking hormones and “cross-sex” hormones.
Plus, the Help Not Harm Summit brings together amazing leaders and friends from other organizations who are part of the fight to protect children from harmful transgender ideology. Here are the outstanding organizations who are making a difference on this issue and joining us in the first-ever Help Not Harm Summit:
- Focus on the Family

- American Principles Project
- Colson Center for Christian Worldview
- Ethics and Public Policy Center

We hope you’ll register for the whole event to hear from these leaders and experts—or for the sessions you think will be most helpful to your family.

Dear Friend,
Transgender ideology is sweeping our nation, and youth are the targets. From school classrooms to social media and even the therapist’s office, kids are encouraged to question their own biology. And struggling children are pushed toward “transition” – a dangerous series of interventions that can result in sterilization, long-term health consequences, and potentially worse mental health outcomes.
Kids who are struggling deserve real help, not the harm of hormones and surgery.
This is one of the greatest battles of our day, and we know that you want to help.
So on Friday, October 15, we’re offering a FREE online event to EQUIP you with information and practical tools to make a difference in your country, your state, and even your own family. Register and see the full agenda here.

There are just six days until our FREE webinar, “The Truth About Transition.” And we want YOU to join us!
We know the truth that God created us male and female. But our children and our culture are inundated with messages that say it’s possible to change sex – that you may have been born in the wrong body. And it’s a real struggle that some youth face. The supposed solution? Puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgery. These interventions can leave children sterile and facing scars of both body and heart.
But as this narrative continues to run its course throughout our culture – and permeate our children’s schools and phones – it’s important to understand this topic and be able to speak to it with winsomeness. Whether this issue directly affects your family, or you simply want to be able to understand and discuss this, now is the time.
Register TODAY for our FREE webinar “The Truth About Transition,” happening next Tuesday (September 14) at 1 PM ET. We’ll be talking with a medical professional to provide answers to:
- What makes someone male or female?
- What causes gender confusion?
- What are the dangers and long-term side effects of transition?
- How can we meaningfully protect and help children?
- What can parents do?
- And more!
Have your own question about this topic? Come ready to share your question in the comments, and we might address it during the webinar! Just don’t forget to register!

Don’t miss this! Yesterday, The Daily Caller released a news EXCLUSIVE about Family Policy Alliance’s “Help Not Harm” campaign. We are grateful to the Daily Caller, and to the article’s author Mary Margaret Olohan, for this important and timely piece. Read the intro below and click here to read the whole article – it’s worth your time!
“The battle to “Save Women’s Sports” resulted in a slew of legislation banning biological males from girls’ sports, conversations on the national stage about gender, sex, individual dignity, and much more. Now the advocacy groups behind this push are assembling to battle the next burgeoning culture war issue — 
transgender sex change surgeries and procedures for minors.”
Progressive activists, media, lawmakers, and even some medical professionals call such procedures “gender affirming medical care” and protest that denying an individual this “care” is cruel, regardless of age. Republican Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson vetoed the state’s SAFE Act in April, arguing that the legislation was a “vast government overreach” and that it shouldn’t jump into every ethical issue.
But advocacy groups like the Family Policy Alliance (FPA) insist these procedures irrevocably hurt children. And backed by a network of about 40 independent, state-based family policy councils, FPA aims to multiply the number of states across the nation that legally protect children from gender transition.
Read the full article here! And, if you haven’t yet, be sure to visit our Help Not Harm webpage to get the facts, speak out to lawmakers, and spread the word about this critical issue.
Sincerely,
