| A Highly Successful Week of Advocacy in New Hampshire Early this week, we had a number of highly successful events with detransitioner Chloe Cole. On Monday, April 17, Chloe told her compelling story to students from Dartmouth College and other guests from the area. Tuesday began with a rally for parental rights on the steps of the State House. Chloe and fellow detransitioner, Katie Lennon, gave moving speeches at the rally, urging legislators to pass SB 272 to protect children and parents from covert, school facilitated social transitioning. After the rally, both Chloe and Katie bravely testified in support of SB 272 before legislators in the House Education Committee and hundreds of attendees. You can find Chloe’s testimony here, and Katie’s testimony here. In the evening, Cornerstone held an event featuring a discussion with Chloe Cole and Dr. Carrie Mendoza, director of FAIR in medicine, a professional network advocating for ethical standards in medicine. Over 300 individuals attended this event to hear Chloe’s story and her advice to how we can prevent more children from suffering as she did. You can find a recording of the full event here, which began with a standing ovation for Chloe. While it is a long recording, we encourage you to listen, even if you don’t watch, so you can hear Chloe’s story. After being abruptly cancelled by the Holiday Inn, Senator Keith Murphy bravely and generously stepped up to host our event at his restaurant and event center, Murphy’s Taproom and Carriage House in Bedford. We are extremely grateful and encourage you to thank Sen. Murphy for his bravery by leaving a positive review on his Google and Yelp review pages and stopping by for a meal to support his business. We also want to extend a special thanks to our partner, Do No Harm, in bringing Chloe to the 603. Take a look at some of the amazing images from Monday and Tuesday’s events below! |

| Update on Recent Legislative ActionBills we have been following that are now on to the next steps. Your voice is still needed and still matters! |
| Help Protect the Rights of Parents SB 272 – Action Steps: 1. Contact your representative to vote YES on the bill. SB 272, the Senate version of the Parental Bill of Rights, has advanced through the Senate and into the House. SB 272 includes vital language to prevent the covert, social gender transitioning of children by public school systems. Parental rights in NH are in crisis. Many school districts have enacted nearly identical policies based on a model from left-wing advocacy group, GLSEN, promising to engage in the covert social transitioning of children and to conceal this process from parents. SB 272 will provide needed protections for parents’ fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children without authoritarian state interference. Progressives argue, without evidence, that parents can’t be trusted, and open communication with those legally responsible for their child’s welfare will cause harm. But these assertions are without merit and only serve to undermine parents, their relationship with their children, and their legal authority. Such covert practices without the knowledge of the parents essentially gives schools sweeping and unprecedented authority to make critical health and treatment decisions for children and appear to be driven more by fact-averse ideology than true concern for the individual child. Loving parents can’t be left out of the equation, and schools should not be making these decisions on behalf of the child. WHAT YOU CAN DO: SB 272 had a hearing in the House Education Committee on Tuesday, April 18 before an incredibly large audience. During this hearing, we heard several notable testimonies, including testimony from detransitioners Chloe Cole and Katie Lennon. We thank Chloe and Katie for their brave and compelling testimonies. On Tuesday, April 25, the bill will be considered in an executive session of the House Education Committee before going to the full House. We urge you to contact your representatives and ask them to vote yes on SB 272 to help protect loving parents and vulnerable children throughout the Granite State. |
