On January 23, 2024, PERK Advocacy traveled to Washington D.C. to relay California Parents’ Voices to Congressmen and Senators on the subject of Education Issues, Parents Rights and what is being seen in our states regarding children.

We personally met with a number of key legislators’ offices to discuss what is happening in California in regards to parents’ rights and education. We also joined Parents Defending Education and other amazing parent advocacy groups from around the country for a Capitol Fly-In for discussions with House of Representatives Education and Judiciary Committee staff, H.E.L.P committee staff, House Speaker Mike Johnson office and a Senate Round Table to voice parents concerns around the nation regarding K-12 education. We ended trip with a reception hosted by Senator Tim Scott in recognition of National School Choice Week.

Thanks to Parents Defending Education for hosting PERK Advocacy in D.C.. We met some amazing Parent Advocacy groups from around the country that were voicing the concerns in their state. We have made some key contacts for future legislative initiatives and to keep your voices heard in our Nation’s Capitol.
