Mourning With the Nation Over The Loss of Charlie Kirk
Dear PERK Members,
As we grieve the loss of a great leader, patriot, father, and husband, may his political assassination mark the contrast of what darkness and evil does while Charlie was peacefully debating ideas. He was a force of nature.
In the devastation, tragedy, and shock of his death, let this draw us out any final complacency and ignite you into this fight between good and evil, light and darkness. Never to surrender to fear or sink to hate. Instead defend the truth. Freedom is everything. Our families are everything. Our faith is everything. Let us finish what was started and let this be the turning point to save our country. Our prayers and deepest sympathy are with Erika Kirk, their children, and all the Kirk family.
Sincerely,
Amy Bohn
PERK President
OFFICIAL PERK STATEMENT
We will release the treasured photos and full Charlie Kirk speech from our beautiful event with Charlie Kirk soon. It was a moment we will never forget and will treasure this lasting memory.
Time for a Veto: AB495 Passes Senate And Heads to the Governor's Desk
Keep the Pressure Up! Time for a Veto!
ACT NOW: Stop AB 495
Dear PERK Members,
AB 495 was amended to remove the “non-relative caregiver.” This is a win. However, the bill language still creates dangerous loopholes without ID, background check, court oversight, or parental knowledge. This is unacceptable. California’s children deserve real safeguards, not paperwork that can be weaponized. AB 495, Assembly Member Celeste Rodriguez bill is unnecessary. Education Code 234.7 already allows parents to consent to and authorize a long list of authorized emergency contacts in the event of an emergency.
AB 495 Current Status:
AB495 passes the Senate.
Next Stop: The Governor’s desk.
Call To Action VETO for AB495:
Call the Governor for a VETO (everyone, every state can join and call the Governor. Keep the pressure on!

What AB 495 Would Allow
• “Name a child.” A person can identify a child on a school-site form and assume custody/authorized caregiver status with no ID, no verification, no background check, no notarization, and no court.
• Medical authority by checkbox. The form lets a person check one box—“I cannot get a hold of the parent”—and take over medical decisions.
• No parental consent or notice. Parents may not be contacted before decisions are made.
• Records sealed. Confidentiality provisions can seal records, preventing parents and the public from seeing what happened until it’s too late.
• Exploiting legal loopholes. The bill removes critical safeguards that protect children from trafficking, kidnapping, and predation.
• Bottom line: No ID. No verification. No notarization, No parent. No child is safe.
Sample Letter To Governor Newsom
Please veto AB 495. Children deserve stronger safeguards, not weaker ones. Require ID, background checks, parental notice/consent, notarization, and court oversight for any transfer of custody or medical authority. Assembly Member Celeste Rodriguez bill is unnecessary. Education Code 234.7 already allows parents to consent to and authorize a long list of authorized emergency contacts in the event of an emergency. Protect all children.
Thank you for taking action today!

The Health Freedom Movement is Winning
National Leaders Step Forward: Secretary Kennedy, Surgeon General Ladapo, NIH Director Bhattacharya Signal Monumental Change. Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen powerful momentum nationally and in California. Here’s a recap of the most important developments. It signals the health freedom movement is moving towards monumental change and winning.
Nationally
HHS reinstate the childhood vaccine safety task force – For the first time in decades, after previous HHS leadership failed to continue the safety task force, HHS reinstates it. The safety task force will be looking at all the childhood vaccines, reporting systems, and safety, and will be led by Director Jay Bhattacharya the head of the NIH.
Director Bhattacharya stated, "By reinstating this Task Force, we are reaffirming our commitment to rigorous science, continuous improvement, and the trust of American families,"
Florida Leads the Way – Surgeon General Dr. Joe Ladapo makes breaking news stating Florida will end ALL vaccine mandates and restore the God-given right to choose what goes in our bodies. Video here. PERK proudly welcomed Dr. Ladapo and his wife Brianna Ladapo to California as guest speakers in 2023.
$500 Million in mRNA contracts ended – “We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu.
President Trump Raises Questions – President Trump openly questions the COVID vaccines and the effectiveness he was sold—or possibly lied to about.
Dr. Paul Thomas Lawsuit – Dr. Paul Thomas is a plaintiff in a lawsuit against the CDC for failure to test the cumulative effect of the 72-dose childhood vaccine schedule. Watch The Highwire Interview with Dr. Paul Thomas.
PERK Letter to President Trump – PERK letter to President Trump calling for attention on religious liberty.
California
PERK on The Highwire – Amy Bohn joined Del Bigtree on The Highwire to announce landmark support from a California Senator for new legislation protecting medical privacy rights, restore personal belief exemptions, and education access.
AB 84 – Moves to a 2 year bill due to public pressure. Your action continues to create wins in California. The fight’s not over. It has less of a chance of passing, but the bill can still come back in January. However this gives the unified opposition time to continue the effort to kill it. Read California Policy Center’s coalition letter.
AB 495 – Under the public pressure, the bill is amended. The fight is still on.
PERK Letter to President Trump – PERK letter to President Trump calling for attention on religious liberty and California.
However, it’s not good enough as it moves to the Senate floor for a vote. See our video on what you can do.
