Help defend the faith and protect children from irreversible harm!

Dear John,

As you know, last year, former FRC intern and pediatric nurse Vanessa Sivadge was unjustly fired from her job at Texas Children's Hospital after standing up for her religious beliefs and blowing the whistle on the hospital's performance of gender transition procedures on children -- and its fraudulent use of Medicaid funding to do so.

It was a moment that should've been troubling to every Christian.

FRC took action -- and thousands joined us.

Last year, FRC launched a petition demanding justice for Vanessa and accountability from Texas Children's Hospital.

Thanks to your support, that petition was delivered earlier this year, amplifying Vanessa's voice and raising awareness about this violation of conscience rights and the law.

Then, just last week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights announced it was officially launching a formal investigation into whether Vanessa's firing violated federal conscience protections.

This latest development is a far cry from the Biden-Harris administration's Department of Justice, which previously sent two FBI agents to Vanessa's home in an attempt to intimidate her into revealing the identity of Dr. Eithan Haim -- the original whistleblower who exposed the truth about TCH's gender transition procedures on minors.

You and I are seeing 180-degree victories like this because of the faithful prayers and bold actions of believers like you -- who prayed, voted your values, and stood for biblical truth.

While the recent announcement from HHS is a significant step forward, there is still much work to be done to protect children across the nation from these dangerous and irreversible gender transition procedures. Will you join us?

PARNTER WITH FRC

On April 9, Vanessa testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, sharing her experience as a whistleblower -- and exposing the irreversible harm that is still being done to children across the country even now.

Her courage has become a rallying cry. And now, because of people like you, her story is forcing change at the highest levels.

But Vanessa is not the only one. Across the country, more healthcare professionals, teachers, and parents are facing the same heartbreaking choices. And thousands of children are caught in the middle of a cultural push that dismisses biological reality and undermines their God-given identity.

That's why I'm asking you to stand with FRC and thousands of believers nationwide.

Here's what your partnership can do right now:

  1. Advocate for federal legislation to protect children from dangerous gender transition procedures
  2. Raise up more young leaders of faith, like Vanessa, through FRC's internship program
  3. Bring awareness to the threats to faith, family, and freedom through Washington Watch, The Washington Stand, and other platforms

Will you join us in this vital mission?

YES! I'LL DONATE TO PROTECT CHILDREN & DEFEND THE FAITH

Vanessa faced a heartbreaking decision: violate her conscience by participating in gender transition procedures on minors -- or speak up.

She knew what it could cost her. And yet, she chose truth and refused to compromise.

Now, after months of silence and struggle, her testimony is echoing in the halls of Congress and the offices of federal investigators.

That's the power of one person standing boldly for the truth -- and a community of believers refusing to let her stand alone.

We're honored to walk with Vanessa. And with your support, you and I can raise up more leaders like her, protect children from harm, and shine light on the "unfruitful works of darkness" (Ephesians 5:11).

Thank you for being part of this mission. Your voice is helping turn the tide in this cultural and spiritual battle.
