Trump 2.0: How Federal Changes Could Strengthen Parental Rights for California Families

Last Monday night, the eve of the election, CFC gathered with Christians from across California on the steps of the Capitol for a powerful prayer vigil. Together, we lifted up our state and our nation before the Lord, seeking His mercy and direction. It was a night filled with praise, worship, and earnest prayer for righteousness to prevail, for leaders who would defend the truth, and for hearts to turn back to Him.

We firmly believe that God answered many of these prayers the very next day!

Under President Trump, we anticipate a federal government that will be far more supportive of our efforts to protect children, strengthen families, and uphold parental rights. The administration has already signaled a commitment to protect girls’ sports, empower parents to guide their children’s education without interference, and, crucially, block gender transition procedures for minors.

Furthermore, with new Christian staffers in critical federal agencies like Health and Human Services, Education, and Justice, we have a unique opportunity to reclaim some of the ground we lost. This renewed support means we can reinforce the timeless values that promote a healthy society and fight harder than ever for California’s families!

Defending Life, Family, and Liberty

CFC’s steadfast mission is to advance God’s design for these issues through the Church, the Capitol, and the Culture. With your support, we can harness this critical moment in our nation’s history to intensify our work in these vital areas:

  • Life: Protecting life has always been a cornerstone of CFC’s mission. While the national tide is turning, California remains one of the most challenging states for the pro-life cause. This year, we’re preparing to advocate fiercely for the unborn and fight to roll back policies that have sanctioned the destruction of precious unborn lives. With new opportunities at the federal level, we have the chance to support efforts that defend life from conception to natural death, but we can only do this with your help.
  • Family: The rights of parents to guide the upbringing and education of their children are foundational to our mission. Today, these rights are under constant assault here in California. From intrusive curriculum mandates to attempts to strip parents of their role in critical areas of their children’s lives, the fight is fierce. With new federal support, we’re prepared to stand up for families and protect parental rights in California. Your partnership is crucial to this work!
  • Liberty:  The First Amendment has faced mounting challenges across our state. From silencing Christian teachers and attacking pregnancy centers to compelled speech in the workplace, our rights are under attack. Now, with a new administration committed to upholding the Constitution, CFC is prepared to be at the forefront of the battle in Sacramento. With your support, we can ensure that these freedoms are not only protected but expanded!

The Challenge Ahead of Us

Yes, this is a new day—but it’s only the beginning. The future before us requires resources, resilience, and unwavering resolve. As we celebrate these new opportunities, we know the fight is far from over.

Governor Gavin Newsom has already called a special session to counter the new administration on “civil rights,” abortion, climate policy, and immigration. CFC’s work is more crucial than ever, and we need your partnership to meet this moment with strength.

Will you join us as we finish 2024 strong and launch into 2025 with an even greater purpose? Here are three things you can do today:

  1. Watch our 2024 Year-in-Review video featuring CFC’s Vice President Greg Burt, Outreach Director Sophia Lorey, and others as we share how God is working through our ministry.
  2. Share CFC’s resources with your friends and family. Spreading the word is one of the simplest yet most impactful ways to strengthen our collective voice and multiply the impact of our work. When you share our website and social media pages, you’re helping reach a broader audience with the message of Life, Family, and Liberty. Most importantly, you’re equipping others to stand up for their values and stay informed on critical issues facing California!
  3. Make a generous year-end gift today to our vital work. This season is critical for ministries like CFC. Did you know that most non-profits receive nearly half of their annual budget from end-of-year giving?

Our Privilege and Our Calling

Our hope doesn’t rest in politics alone. You and I know politics is downstream from culture. If we want to end abortion, protect marriage, and secure religious liberty, we must change hearts and minds. We need to help people see that life is sacred, families matter, and freedom to live out our faith is essential.

CFC is here to win hearts, change minds, and save lives. With you by our side, we can make California a beacon of hope for Life, Family, and Liberty.

Thank you for everything you do to make this work possible. From my family, our staff, and our board, may God richly bless you this Thanksgiving season!

In Gratitude and Faith,

Jonathan Keller, President & CEO
