Status: 🔴 Conservative advocacy group that co-created a website supplying Republican lawmakers with downloadable anti-trans model legislation
Family Policy Alliance is a conservative Christian advocacy organization (part of the Focus on the Family network) that promotes “family values” policy at the state level. In 2021, it teamed up with Alliance Defending Freedom and The Heritage Foundation to create a website allowing Republican lawmakers to download model legislation for anti-trans bills.
According to Them.us, Family Policy Alliance joined Alliance Defending Freedom and The Heritage Foundation to build a website that let Republican lawmakers download ready-made anti-trans bills to introduce in their state legislatures. The partnership fed the 2021 wave of anti-trans legislation — at least 73 bills in the first three months, 65 targeting trans youth and 41 targeting trans student athletes — which produced the first sports bans signed into law in the U.S.
