Family Research Council (FRC) and FRC Action will host the third annual Pray Vote Stand Summit from September 15 to 17, 2023, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. The summit replaces the Values Voter Summit, which had been held since 2006.
The event is set to address topics including protection of unborn children, support for the nuclear family, religious freedom domestically and internationally, concerns about education and gender ideology in schools, military issues, election integrity, and related policy matters. Both in-person and online attendance options are available through registration at http://prayvotestand.org.
Notable confirmed speakers include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), former Vice President Mike Pence, former President Donald Trump, former HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, Tony Perkins (FRC President and FRC Action Chairman), Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin (FRC Executive Vice President), and former Congressman Jody Hice (Senior Vice President at FRC and President of FRC Action). Additional speakers are listed at prayvotestand.org/speakers.
Tony Perkins commented on the significance of this year’s summit: “Our nation stands at a critical juncture. America needs leadership that will confront the cultural and spiritual crisis facing our country. As we move into the 2024 presidential election cycle, we are working to ensure the issues impacting faith, family, and freedom are understood and advanced. Our focus will be ensuring that the sanctity of human life, upholding the true, God-given purpose of human sexuality, and the myriad policies that affect the family — ranging from religious freedom to tax policy — remain front and center. We look forward to having a conversation with those seeking the support of Christian voters who are coming together from across the nation for this year’s Pray Vote Stand Summit.”
According to event organizers, Family Research Council sponsors only educational components of Pray Vote Stand Summit; it does not sponsor candidate appearances or endorse any candidate for public office.
