We are just days away from a major moment in the North Carolina General Assembly: the May 8th legislative crossover deadline.

In North Carolina, the crossover deadline is the date by which most bills must be passed by at least one chamber—either the House or the Senate—in order to stay alive for the rest of the legislative session. If a bill doesn’t “cross over” to the other chamber by this deadline, it is typically considered dead for the session. That’s why your voice is more important now than ever.

Some of our most important pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious freedom bills still need to be voted on before May 8th.And we need your help to get them across the finish line.

We’ve created a series of short, informative YouTube videos to help you better understand these critical pieces of legislation and why they matter for the future of North Carolina families. After watching, please take just a couple minutes to use our click-to-contact tool and ask your legislators to advance these bills before the deadline.

Watch the videos and take action now:

Take Action: Parents Medical Bill of Rights / Minors Health Protection Act
(HB 519/SB 759)


This bill aims to restore parental authority in North Carolina by requiring parental consent for minors to receive diagnosis, treatment, or prevention for sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse, and emotional disturbances. The bills also require medical providers allow parents access to all medical records for their minor children.

Take Action: Ensuring Safety for Mail-Order Medications Act

(HB 553)

This bill strengthens North Carolina’s laws by making it a felony to illegally ship abortion pills into the state, holding out-of-state abortion pill distributors accountable, and creating civil remedies for those harmed. With an estimated 2,000 illegal shipments per month, this bill ensures only FDA-approved drugs are distributed, requires entities shipping abortion pills to register as NC businesses, and empowers women and families to pursue justice against dangerous, unlawful practices.

Take Action: Civil Procedure Amendment

(HB 606)


The Civil Procedure Amendment would extend the statute of limitations for medical malpractice while facilitating or perpetuating gender transition. The bill will ensure that those permanently harmed by medical gender transition—like Prisha Mosley—can hold the medical industry accountable.

Take Action: Parents Protection Act
(HB 560/SB 442)


This essential bill shields parents from losing custody of their children simply for raising their child consistent with their biological sex and refusing to affirm their child’s harmful gender identity. It reinforces a parent’s fundamental right to make medical decisions aligned with their beliefs and their child’s best interests. The bill also prohibits making prospective parents’ affirmation of gender identity a litmus test for adoption or foster care.
