Summit for Survivors

In May of 2010, Walter resigned to work full-time in the Pro-Life movement. He was asked to join a group of pro-life sidewalk counselors, to pray and give out literature to women on their way to the entrance of an abortion clinic. His ministry blossomed so much that the abortion clinic lost a great deal of business, and they complained to the Oakland authorities, who literally created a law just to put Rev. Hoye in jail. Though in court Rev. Hoye and his attorney from Life Legal Defense proved both that Walter did absolutely nothing illegal and that the only witness against him blatantly lied, the pro-abortion judge made sure Rev. Hoye unjustly went to jail, which he did. The judge, in fact, sought to sentence Walter to four years in jail for standing on a public sidewalk, but could not because of a legal technicality. Walter B. Hoye II is both Founder and President of the Issues4Life Foundation, the California Civil Rights Foundation, Founder of the Frederick Douglass Foundation of California, co-founder and Executive Member of the National Black Pro-Life Coalition, a Board Member of The Morning Center (providing free full-service maternity care for women in urban and under-served areas), a published author (Leadership from the IN|SIDE Out), a board member of The Ruth Institute, a full-time pro-life activist, and a leadership consultant. As a young man, Walter played football at Michigan State University, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Sociology. He graduated from the United States International University, now Alliant International University, with a Master’s degree in Business Administration in 1983. In 1984, God used the premature birth of his firstborn son (six months, 2.1 pounds) to teach Rev. Hoye that a pre-born baby is a person, a living, breathing human being. Walter is an ordained Baptist minister. He served as Minister of Christian Education at the St. John Missionary Baptist Church in Oceanside, California, as Assistant to the Pastor and Director of the Youth Department at the Greater Faith Baptist Church in Stockton, California, and as the Executive Elder of the Progressive Missionary Baptist Church of Berkeley. Walter leads the Oakland pro-life march. He competes in the San Francisco Marathon and catches an NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB game whenever he can.

Erin Brewer developed a trans identity in first grade. She did everything she could to be a boy. Her teacher sent her to the school psychologist for assessment because her behavior was concerning. Thankfully, the school psychologist did not affirm her; instead, she came up with a plan for her mother and teacher to help Erin manage her difficult feelings. It took years for Erin’s trans identity to resolve, but she is thankful that she got the help she needed to address the underlying cause, rather than being told she was born in the wrong body and inherently flawed. Erin grew up in Salt Lake City and earned a B.S. from Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. She has a Doctorate in Instructional Technology and Learning Science from Utah State University. Erin shares her deeply personal story to help others understand the damage that is being done to children by the transgender movement.

Dr. Quentin Van Meter traces the history of the American Academy of Pediatrics and how it went from the leading voice for children, to the national organization avoiding the policies that would help children, and instead putting the interests and desires of adults first. Discover his fascinating story. Dr. Quentin Van Meter, MD, FCP, a pediatric endocrinologist, is the President of the American College of Pediatricians. He advocates for children through the American Academy of Pediatrics where he served as Chairman of the Uniformed Services West Chapter. He is continually frustrated by the political bent of the National AAP and wants to continue his advocacy role with the College as an organization that works for children and families by strengthening the role of the family without the lens of political correctness. He has spoken around the world on the subject of transgender children. His experience began at Johns Hopkins in the 1970s with Dr. John Money, and he has seen the travesty of continued experimentation on children ever since.

It all started with a sign that Reverend Walter Hoye was holding while outside of an abortion clinic. The sign read, "God Luvs U and UR Baby!! Let us help."
