Saving the American Family: One Night to Change Our Future
On April 18, 2026, Washington leaders, parents, and pastors will gather at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue for an evening dedicated to one urgent mission: saving the American family. While politicians argue and bureaucrats experiment with culture, this event brings together the people who actually shape the future—moms, dads, church leaders, and citizens who are ready to stand in the gap for their children and their communities.
Headlining the evening is Dr. Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation and Heritage Action, one of the most influential voices in America on rebuilding marriage, restoring family, and charting a hopeful path for our nation’s next 250 years. He has helped lead the charge on bold, practical strategies to stop punishing families, support working parents, and return the family to the center of American life—and he will be with us in person to cast a vision and challenge Washington State to lead.
You’ll also hear from trusted local voices who are on the front lines every day—on the airwaves, in the legislature, and in the public square—unpacking the real threats facing parents and kids in Washington and how we can respond with courage, clarity, and conviction. From school policies and parental rights to religious liberty and the rising tide of anti-family ideology, this evening will connect the dots between what you’re seeing in your neighborhood and what’s happening in Olympia and D.C.
This is not a banquet where you sit, listen, and go home unchanged. You’ll leave with a renewed sense of hope, practical tools to protect your family and church, and concrete ways to join a growing movement of Washingtonians who refuse to surrender their state—or their children’s future—without a fight. You’ll meet like-minded believers from across the region, connect with local strategic partners, and discover how FPIW and 39 allied family policy councils nationwide are coordinating to defend life, marriage, religious liberty, and parental rights.
If you are tired of watching your values mocked, your children targeted, and your voice ignored, this night is for you. Come be part of a room full of people who are done being silent, done being isolated, and ready to build something stronger than the chaos around us: families rooted in truth, churches unafraid to speak, and communities where biblical values can flourish again.
Seats at Meydenbauer Center are limited, and this event will sell out. Reserve your spot now—buy an individual ticket or a full table—and bring your friends, your pastor, and your fellow parents to an evening that will encourage your heart, sharpen your mind, and equip your family for the days ahead. On April 18, don’t just watch history happen in Washington State—come help write it at “Saving the American Family.”

Keynote Speaker
Kevin D. Roberts, PhD, was named President of The Heritage Foundation in October 2021. He succeeded former Heritage President Kay C. James as the seventh President in the organization’s 50-year history. In September 2023, Roberts was named President of Heritage Action for America and serves both organizations in a joint role.
Roberts previously served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF), an Austin-based nonprofit, nonpartisan research institute and the largest state think tank in the nation. Under Roberts’ leadership, TPPF more than doubled in size. He also expanded the Texas think tank’s influence nationwide, opening an office in Washington, D.C., so that TPPF research might better inform federal policy debates.
