Livestream Registration

Join us in Sacramento to be trained and equipped to build relationships with your state legislators!

We as private homeschoolers need to maintain a visible presence and positive impression of private Christian home education to our state legislators. Your contacts with your state legislators allow them the opportunity to meet with actual homeschool families.

Building relationships with your legislators helps you, the homeschooling families, and us, FPM, when we defend your private homeschooling freedoms against bills that aim to regulate it in the California Legislature.

We will give you the tools so that you can build relationships with our California state legislators and their staff and give them information about private home education in a friendly, professional manner. In addition to training, you’ll hear inspiring messages from those who work with the legislature at the Capitol. We also plan to have a Capitol Prayer Time, setting aside a special time to pray for our leaders (we have amended our Capitol Prayer Walk to instead be a Capitol Prayer Time due to venue constraints).

Capitol Day has been hosted by FPM in Sacramento every other year at the beginning of each two-year legislative session for the past three decades, and every year since 2019. However, now that the capitol has been closed to the general public since early 2020, we have adapted our conference for the present circumstances and are excited to announce Homeschool Freedom Day (HFD) where you will be trained to build relationships with your legislators from your own home.

Frank Erb serves as Missionary Pastor to the California State Capitol in Sacramento. He has served in this way full-time since 2008, providing pastoral outreach, in-depth expository Bible-teaching, biblical discipleship, and pastoral counseling and guidance for State Senators, Assembly Members, Statewide Leaders, Constitutional Officers, Department Heads, Legislative Staff, Lobbyists, Sergeants-at-Arms, Security staff, and others.

Beyond the Capitol, Frank speaks and teaches in churches and to other groups, and provides Biblical coaching for leaders of all kinds. Frank reaches out to all leaders, regardless of their political party or perspective, realizing that what all people need most is the inner transformation and spiritual maturity that can only come through the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Word of God. When elected officials’ hearts and minds are changed, God is glorified, they are blessed, and God’s word guides them in making wiser decisions.

Kevin Kiley was elected to the California State Assembly in 2016 and has twice been reelected by substantial margins. In the 2020 election, he received more votes than any Republican in California history.

The son of a Special Education teacher, Kevin began his career as a high school teacher in inner-city Los Angeles, where he chaired the English Department and led his students to significant academic gains. Later as an attorney, Kevin defended the U.S. Constitution in California courts and helped prosecute the civil case against China’s Huawei Technologies for intellectual property theft. He left private practice to become a prosecutor and Deputy Attorney General, representing the People of California in cases against violent felons. In November of 2020, Kevin and fellow legislator James Gallagher made use of their legal training by winning a trial against Governor Newsom for violating the separation of powers.

In five years in the Legislature, Kevin has authored groundbreaking new laws on freedom of speech, artificial intelligence, privacy, criminal justice reform, and protections for sexual assault victims, along with introducing the most significant school choice legislation in recent years. For his work advancing economic freedom, in 2020 he was named the national Legislator of the Year by the Association of Independent Workers. Each year in the Legislature, Kevin has declined the per diem allowance, giving up $40,000 in income annually. He also declined a pay raise granted to the Governor and Legislature in 2021, and he has introduced legislation to end special perks like a private DMV office that is available exclusively to state lawmakers and their staff.

Kevin holds a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, a law degree from Yale, and a master’s in secondary education from Loyola Marymount. He has also served as an adjunct professor at McGeorge School of Law.

For the last decade, he has coordinated Generation Joshua’s campaign deployments, involving thousands of volunteers in scores of competitive races nationwide. He has also administered three political action committees. In 2011 and 2012, he represented the Young Republican National Federation in the International Young Democrat Union, a pro-democracy alliance for greater freedom and small government as a delegate to the London and Sydney meetings. He also leads historic and cultural tours of Europe teaching about the roots of American liberty.
