Momentum building in California with national implications.

California Protective Legislation Update

Since the public announcement of the California Democratic Senator who agreed to champion restoring personal belief exemptions and protecting the privacy of Californians, PERK has built a massive coalition and effort.

After an extended period of strategic discussions—including private Zooms, calls, in-person meetings, and text exchanges—from 2024 into 2025, our Senator agreed on the timing of our public announcement. This milestone is the direct result of PERK’s leadership, strategy, and sustained effort; no other organization can claim credit for this unique work. While early conversations began in 2024, the actual breakthrough occurred in 2025—when new legislative drafts were created, new ideas were advanced, critical meetings were held, and the Senator fully understood what was needed and why. It was PERK’s 2025 work, backed by PERK’s own resources, that moved this initiative across the critical next step. Those resources—funded by supporters who believe in our mission—made possible the travel, meetings, and targeted strategy that produced this moment. Momentum continues to build as support increases.

In California, more than 500+ people, 30+ freedom organizations, and 75+ advocacy volunteers have publicly signed a letter committing anticipated support of protective legislation from our Senator to restore personal belief exemptions, privacy, and correct a decade of violations.

Following our visit in Sacramento, we received a kind letter from our Senator confirming the key legislative priorities and actions are underway for all Californians — and as we all know what happens here impacts the entire nation. The Senator has in hand multiple legislative drafts on all the key priorities.

Dozens of Families Kicked Out of School in California

In addition, President of PERK, Amy Bohn, has led her team to help families in need. This year alone, we’ve helped dozens of individual families whose kids were removed from school — meeting with them, hearing their stories, sending school letters, providing legal templates, and helping them file civil rights complaints.

Legal Update to Protect Children

PERK is also currently evaluating a legal challenge to a recent California law that violates Title IX and threatens the safety of girls’ sports. If any faith based sports group is threatened and being forced to allow biological boys on the girls teams, girls locker rooms, or girls bathrooms, please reach out to us at info@perk-group.com.

California Civil Rights Violations of Religious Liberty, Education Denial, and Discrimination

PERK has actively been involved in defending, advocating for, and demanding the civil rights violations of families with religious beliefs, medical exemptions, and denial of school access be addressed. We have sent a letter to the Religious Liberty Commission, HHS Secretary Kennedy, President Trump, and the Office of Civil Rights, documenting religious-liberty violations in California and four other states, and we’re building strong relationships with key leaders.

Formal Demand

We will soon be announcing another campaign we are launching to formally demand changes, restore your liberties, and protect children’s access to education.
