Dear John,

This June, the battle for the soul of our culture has never been clearer -- or more urgent.

While many Americans welcome summer, despite the cultural swing to the right in America, LGBTQ activists are aggressively pushing Pride Month globally. The 25th anniversary of WorldPride is being hosted for the first time in our nation's capital: Washington, D.C.

For weeks, Pride organizers will flood our streets, our screens, and our schools with messaging that denies and outright rejects God's design for men, women, and children -- promoting gender confusion, sexual radicalism, and policies that seek to silence Christian voices as they work to dismantle the family.

Make no mistake: this is not just a celebration. It is a well-funded, highly orchestrated movement that continues to gain influence in classrooms, corporations, legislatures, and even churches.

WorldPride DC is a global megaphone for an agenda that seeks to remake society in the image of man's fallen nature. But we have a global blueprint for humanity -- God's Word -- and we believe God's design is true, good, and worth defending.

However, those who dare to speak truth -- even when done in love -- are increasingly under attack.

Just ten days ago in Seattle, a peaceful pro-family rally organized by Mayday USA -- attended by families, pastors, and worshippers -- was met with hostile counter-protesters, vandalism, and even arrests, as reported by The Washington Stand.

The images from that day were jarring, but not surprising. We are witnessing a clash of worldviews, and Christians are being told to sit down and be silent.

But Family Research Council has been at the tip of this cultural spear, and we have refused to be silent in the over 15 years since we were first targeted by the Southern Poverty Law Center and other agents of the cancel culture. I can assure you, we will not wave a white flag and surrender our voice now, and I trust you won't either.

That's why I'm asking you to stand with us right now in this critical hour as we continue to proclaim God's truth without compromising love.

Thanks to a generous $1.5 Million Challenge Match, every dollar you give today until June 30 will be DOUBLED to defend God's design for families.

MAKE 2X THE IMPACT

But the cultural battle isn't just on the streets -- it's in Congress.

On April 29, House and Senate Democrats reintroduced the so-called "Equality Act" -- a sweeping and dangerous bill that threatens the very freedoms we hold dear.

The bill would enshrine sexual orientation and gender identity into federal civil rights law, forcing every American -- including religious organizations, parents, teachers, and medical professionals -- to bow to the demands of the LGBTQ+ agenda.

As FRC has long warned, the Equality Act would:

• Trample religious liberty, requiring churches and ministries to hire individuals who reject their beliefs
• Erase women's privacy and protections by opening restrooms, locker rooms, and sports to biological males
• Undermine parental rights, giving schools federal cover to promote gender transitions without notice
• And criminalize biblical truth, branding Christians as bigots for standing on God's Word

That's why FRC is standing boldly on behalf of your family on Capitol Hill, but it is also why we need you standing with us. Because this isn't just a battle about politics. It's about the moral foundation of our nation, our faith, the innocence of our children, and the future of the family.

With your matched gift, FRC will:

• Equip and mobilize churches, parents, and pastors to respond to Pride Month with truth and grace
• Advocate for public policies that protect children, defend religious liberty, and honor God's design for the family
• Push back against radical legislation at the local, state, and federal levels, like the Equality Act
• Provide vital biblical resources to help believers stand firm in a hostile culture like our new 21-Day Matthew Family Bible Challenge.

Will you help us stand firm -- and have your impact DOUBLED?

DOUBLE MY GIFT

John, you may not be able to stand on the steps of the Capitol or face down angry protesters in Seattle -- but you can take a powerful stand today by supporting the ministry of FRC.

With every matched dollar, you'll help us continue the fight for truth without compromising the love God has for the hurting and broken people around us -- in Congress, in courtrooms, in classrooms, and in the culture.

Let's respond to WorldPride's confusion with God's clarity -- and love. Let's meet hostility with conviction and compassion. And let's show the world that the family is not a relic of the past -- it's the cornerstone of our future.

The family is worth defending. And with your help, we will defend it -- now and for generations to come.

Your contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
