Hate Group's Political Rally at California Church
A political conference hosted by the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Family Research Council (FRC) will take place on October 17 at a megachurch in Chino, California, led by Christian nationalist pastor Jack Hibbs.
This event follows the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) July decision to allow pastors to endorse political candidates from their pulpits without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.
The IRS decision was made in a document filed in a court case brought by National Religious Broadcasters and several churches, potentially paving the way for further use of tax-exempt church resources to influence politics.
The Pray Vote Stand Summit will test the boundaries of federal law regarding tax-exempt status and political endorsements.
