In the spring of 2019 a group of mothers in California came together to fight Senate Bill 276 to protect their children’s right to medical freedom and the right to attend school. With our varied professional backgrounds in education, entrepreneurship and marketing we were passionate about collaborating together at a grass roots level to maintain our children’s freedoms. We lost the battle to defeat SB276, but we did not lose our conviction to keep fighting for what is right for children. With each passing month our team grows, more members join us and our determination is undeterred. Since SB276, Protection of the Educational Rights of Kids (PERK) has continued to work behind the scenes meeting with legislators, building relationships in Sacramento and pushing forward tirelessly to educate the public on key issues that impact our medical freedom. We have stood fearlessly with credibility, equipped with knowledge, and an understanding of our inalienable rights.

At PERK we strive to empower parents, educators and professionals to take an active and informed role in protecting their children and parental rights. We provide opportunities to improve understanding and knowledge of policy, legislation, and civic duties through targeted education and skillset building. We recognize and expand upon the innate abilities of constituents and educate and prepare them in a manner that is conducive to positive change and productive dialogue.

The scope of our focus includes workshops and training:

• Professional appearance

• Organizational skills

• Knowledge of current events and relevant legislation

• Meeting preparation

• Thorough bill analysis

• Meeting etiquette and informational exchange

• Emailing, calling and using social media

• Educating and empowering others within district

Meeting with legislators on issues that are personal and of high importance can be overwhelming and intimidating.  We strive to empower our community to get involved, gain confidence and become leaders and facilitators of positive change.
