ONLY FULL-TIME
Watchdog for Private Homeschool Freedom
Every year, new bills are introduced in Sacramento that could restrict, regulate, or erode a parent’s freedom to homeschool. FPM monitors every proposal from the moment it appears, analyzes its impact, and engages with legislators when possible. But protecting homeschool freedom isn’t a one-organization effort—it requires families across California to stay informed, speak up, and stand with us when their voice is needed most.

“Nathan Pierce and his team at Family Protection Ministries can–it’s their job. They need and deserve your support. One bad law can have huge negative consequences for all families—Christian, or homeschooling, or not. I wholeheartedly endorse FPM and encourage you to support them to whatever level you are able. It may be one of the most important organizations of our time.”

“I can’t tell you how thankful I am for the work of Family Protection Ministries. The battle against the God-ordained family in California is intense. Though we live in dark times and California often seems like a “lost cause”, the work of Family Protection Ministries reminds me that God has not left us to ourselves.”
