California Family Council, in partnership with Capitol Resource Institute and Faith and Public Policy, will be hosting a “Day of Action” on the WEST STEPS of the California State Capitol on June 12 to fight for the freedom of all Californians to live out their faith and pursue the counseling of their choice. Of specific concern is AB 2943, a bill that outlaws resources, conferences, or paid counseling for anyone with unwanted same-sex desires or gender identity confusion. AB 2943 has already passed the Assembly 50-18, and will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee the same day, June 12 at 1:30 p.m.
“Our politicians want to outlaw counselors and ministries from helping people achieve their goals through Christ’s message of hope and change,” said California Family Council CEO Jonathan Keller. “We can’t let politicians declare our faith a fraud.”
