2024 Capitol Hill Media Summit Delivers Powerful Insights and Policy Discussions

The 2024 Capitol Hill Media Summit (CHMS), NRB’s flagship public policy event welcoming President’s Council members and their guests, featured a series of thought-provoking speeches and policy discussions packed with insights from top policymakers, industry leaders, and experts on media, technology, and current events.

The CHMS offers President’s Council members a unique opportunity to engage with top policymakers, build relationships with fellow industry leaders, and engage in thought-provoking discussions. Each year, the summit’s focus on media policy, technology, and current events makes it a must-attend gathering for those interested in shaping the future of the Christian media marketplace. The support of the President’s Council empowers NRB to advocate for the rights and interests of Christian communicators in the Nation’s capital.

Christian Leaders Gather for FRC’S Annual Pray Vote Stand Summit Ahead of Election

NRB member Family Research Council (FRC) will host its annual Pray Vote Stand Summit, a national gathering of “spiritually active” and “governance engaged” conservatives, on October 3–6 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Pray Vote Stand is organized to unite Christians across America in prayer, dialogue, and action to preserve and defend the nation’s bedrock values. Alongside Christian leaders, worldview experts, and government officials, the event provides opportunity to engage in government and culture while standing for biblical truth—particularly ahead of the presidential election.

October 7 March in D.C. to be a Day of Remembrance, Solidarity

A solemn, yet uplifting commemoration will be held on Monday, Oct. 7, from 12:00–3:00 p.m. on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to mark the anniversary of the tragic attack on Israel, honor the innocent Israeli lives lost, and remember those still in captivity.

Organized by American Christian Leaders for Israel (ACLI), Generation Zion, and The Philos Project, the gathering will serve as a poignant tribute to the resilience of the Israeli people and their unwavering fight against those seeking their destruction. The event is also supported by several other organizations, including NRB members CURE Policy, Family Research Council (FRC), and International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ).

In April, a group of 157 Christian leaders, including NRB executives and members, came together under the banner of ACLI to express their concerns to President Joe Biden regarding the administration’s stance towards Israel in a letter. Signatories included NRB president & CEO Troy A. Miller, NRB executive vice president Dr. Linda W. Smith, and several NRB members.

This Oct. 7 event presents an opportunity for the American Christian community to show Israel and the Jewish people that they are not alone in their grief or their fight for survival. The presence of Christian leaders at this important event will send a powerful message of solidarity, support, and encouragement to the nation of Israel.
