Take Action! Contact your NC representative & urge them to support HB560, Parents Protection Act

For decades, radical gender ideology activists have been working to weaponize Child Protective Services (CPS) against U.S. parents by accusing them of “abuse” if they do not affirm and recognize their child’s “gender identity.” It’s critical we prevent this from happening in North Carolina, and it’s crucial that your representative hear from you.

>> Take Action: Contact your North Carolina representative and urge them to support HB 560.

HB 560, the Parents Protection Act, would clearly define abuse and ensure that parents who raise children in a way consistent with their biological sex can not have them removed from their home or be charged with abuse or neglect for protecting their child from irreversible, experimental hormones and surgeries. Urge your representative to vote YES on HB 560 before the crossover deadline on Thursday - bills must pass by this deadline or they are dead for the session.

Many parents in other states have already lost custody of their children to state systems that sign off on harmful drugs and procedures in order to “transition” their child, or transfer custody of an “affirming” parent or guardian. Children in state custody have multiple times the risk of actual abuse, including drug use and sex trafficking.

While some may claim this could never happen in North Carolina, there are already reasons for concern. Numerous school districts in North Carolina have policies to keep so-called “gender affirming” care provided to students a secret from parents, and in North Carolina, school personnel are “mandatory reporters” of abuse (see the list here).

The ONLY time a state should ever remove a child is for actual abuse, not to impose a destructive ideology held by a parent or state. The truth is simple: It is never abuse to raise a girl as a girl or a boy as a boy.

>> Take Action: Email your North Carolina representative and urge them to vote YES on HB 560.

Please share this with anyone you know that cares about protecting children, and parental rights.
