Family Research Council and FRC Action are set to host the third annual Pray Vote Stand Summit in Washington, D.C., from September 15-17, 2023. The event will take place at the Omni Shoreham Hotel and will also be available online. This summit has replaced the Values Voter Summit, which was FRC Action’s main event since 2006.
The summit aims to address topics such as protecting unborn children, supporting the nuclear family, religious freedom, education issues, gender ideology, military concerns, and election integrity. Registration is required for both in-person and online participation through http://prayvotestand.org.
A range of national political figures are scheduled to speak at the event. Confirmed speakers include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former Vice President Mike Pence, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, 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.), Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.), Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, Tony Perkins of Family Research Council, Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Jerry Boykin of FRC, and former Congressman Jody Hice of FRC Action.
Tony Perkins, president of Family Research Council and chairman of FRC Action, said: “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.”
Family Research Council clarified its role in organizing the event by stating it is only sponsoring educational sessions during the summit and does not sponsor or endorse any candidate appearances or candidacies.
