If you watched President Trump’s joint address to Congress last night, you probably noticed a familiar face: Do No Harm Parent Advocate January Littlejohn!

The president thanked January for her work as a “courageous advocate” protecting children from the harms of gender ideology, and January even received a standing ovation.

“A few years ago, January Littlejohn and her husband discovered that their daughter’s school had secretly socially transitioned their 13-year-old little girl; teachers and administrators conspired to deceive January and her husband while encouraging her daughter to use a new name and pronouns,” Trump said. “They/them pronoun[s] actually.”

“All without telling January, [who is] here tonight and is now a courageous advocate against this form of child abuse. January, thank you.”

“Stories like this are why shortly after taking office, I signed an executive order banning public schools from indoctrinating our children with transgender ideology,” Trump continued, adding that he “signed an order to cut off all taxpayer funding to any institution that engages in the sexual mutilation of our youth.”

“Now I want Congress to pass a bill permanently banning and criminalizing sex changes on children and forever ending the lie that any child is trapped in the wrong body,” Trump concluded.

We’re so thrilled for January to receive this honor, and hope you join us in congratulating her for everything she’s done for parents across the nation.

“I was incredibly grateful and humbled by the invitation to attend the Joint Address to Congress from First Lady Melania Trump,” January said. “I was there to represent not only my family and the nightmare we endured, but for all families who have been harmed by the lies of gender identity ideology.”

“I am incredibly grateful to President Trump for the strong stance he has taken to protect parental rights and vulnerable children like my daughter,” January added. “President Trump said ‘our message to every child in America is you are perfect, exactly the way God made you’ and I couldn’t agree more.”
