URGENT; ACT NOW: The Virginia General Assembly has passed legislation that would give a nongovernmental organization connected to “woke” ideology accreditation authority over children’s advocacy centers in Virginia. Urge Governor Glenn Youngkin to veto this bill!
House Bill No. 1128 (HB 1128) unanimously passed the General Assembly, being sent to Governor Glenn Younkin’s desk for his signature or veto. If enacted, it would give the National Children’s Alliance (NCA) accreditation authority over children’s advocacy centers, which help children who have been abused and assist government agencies in investigating child abuse.
This provision is problematic. First, a single NGO should not hold a government-imposed monopoly on accreditation. Second, the NCA has troubling connections to the woke LGBT agenda.
For example, the NCA’s CEO has written articles attacking states that oppose the extremist “trans” agenda. Furthermore, the NCA recommends “treatments endorsed by” the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare (CEBC) or the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN). The NCTSN has endorsed “gender-affirming care,” while the State of California has enacted multiple radical medical- and LGBT-related bills in recent years.
Please contact Governor Glenn Youngkin’s office and urge him to veto HB 1128. Instead, urge him to strongly advocate policies that protect children and align with the founding values of our Republic.
