“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. Given this reality, your constant watch over legislation that would undermine parental authority and subvert creation order, is invaluable. 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
“FPM and Nathan Pierce are an organization and individual whom I have worked with for forty years to advance and preserve the freedom to homeschool in California. I can say without hesitation that FPM has played a major role in the freedom to homeschool. Their role in the freedom fight in the future is essential. The only way they can continue to preserve your freedom is if you support them financially. They are funded almost totally by the homeschoolers of California. How valuable is freedom – priceless! You have a role in preserving this freedom – that’s the support of FPM. Please send a check or other donation today. Let’s work together so your children and their children will have the same freedom you have enjoyed.
“As Nathan Pierce works to protect California, he protects the nation! When Family Protection Ministries addresses legislation or policies, it informs other states. California is the “front lines” of cultural and government movements.”
“For those of us who opt to stay in California rather than flee the state, the importance of supporting advocates like Nathan in the State Capitol cannot be ignored. The liberties we still enjoy must be fought and defended from attack on a daily basis, and if you don’t have time to be at the Capitol on a daily basis, that means supporting full-time advocates who will stand on your behalf and do the drudge-work of sifting through piles of proposed bills, working behind the scenes to get wording changed, sending out action alerts, and more. We wouldn’t have the freedom we do without Nathan.”
“The work of FPM in California is crucial for promoting truth and accurate information regarding liberty-respecting and Christian perspectives on the duties, responsibilities, and rights of all families. FPM is particularly strong at promoting and defending all private education, and especially homeschooling, from the overreach and intrusion of civil government actors who do not understand or are opposed to such liberty-honoring and Christian perspectives on issues related to parents, children, and family. FPM is an essential group that individuals from all schooling sectors and all religious backgrounds who agree with their philosophy should eagerly support.”
“As a watchdog, Nathan is committed to keeping an eye on government encroachment into the family, keeping parents aware of the endless threats to their God-given authority to raise and train their children without governmental intrusion. This is an important ministry.”
“Over twenty years ago, when I first came to work at HSLDA, I learned about the vital role Family Protection Ministries plays to protect homeschool freedom in California. When the CDE wrote to every legislator urging a crackdown in 2002, FPM was there. When the LA appeals court erroneously ruled that homeschooling was illegal in 2008, FPM was there. And the 2008 reversal of that erroneous ruling was due in large part to the work FPM did quietly behind the scenes in the legislature for decades before the court case. Nathan Pierce has carried on the long, vital role of FPM, by carefully monitoring every bill, by forming valuable relationships with legislators, their staff, and with the other diverse homeschooling groups in the Golden State. Please support FPM with your most generous donation. HSLDA depends on FPM as our eyes, ears and feet in California.”
“The Value of working with FPM and Nathan Pierce personally from CHEA’s perspective…
In my position as chairman of the board of Christian Home Educators Association (CHEA) of CA, I well know the value of FPM and its director Nathan Pierce. I have known Nathan since he was a child; he is a strong Christian, a great husband and father, dedicated to Christian homeschooling, and a man of integrity. He and FPM work tirelessly in a difficult venue, the state legislature of California in Sacramento. Most of the people he works with do not share his and CHEA’s world view and beliefs about parents’ rights to raise their children to serve God. Nathan works literally at the point of attack – researching, communicating with, and influencing the legislature on the myriad of plans, desires and bills they create that would limit parents’ rights and freedoms in raising their children. The incredible diligence of FPM is all important as many of the attacks on these rights and freedoms are subtle. Nathan analyzes many hundreds of proposed bills and has influenced them in ways that protect and preserve our ability to homeschool. Parents in California would not enjoy the freedoms we have now or in the future were it not for FPM/Nathan and the work they do, of that I am sure!”
“HSLDA is deeply grateful for the leadership and hard work provided by Family Protection Ministries. In a day and age of growing pressure to restrict homeschool freedom from some well-funded special interest groups, Family Protection Ministry’s relationships with legislators in Sacramento, knowledge of homeschooling, and effective advocacy has been instrumental in preserving homeschool freedom in California.”
“The work that Nathan Pierce and Family Protection Ministries does in our state capitol on behalf of private homeschoolers, is vital. Private homeschooling is what I call an extreme freedom in California. With so many of our freedoms being regulated and parents rights being stripped away, the only reason private homeschooling hasn’t been tampered with is because of the work Nathan does every day. We desperately need Nathan and his team in the Capitol to continue the work on behalf of every parent in our state!”
“Homeschool groups don’t often think about all the laws that affect their operation – everything from homeschool laws to safety requirements to parental rights. Thankfully, Family Protection Ministries is on the job in the California Legislature! HSLDA Group Services appreciates the hard work that Family Protection Ministries puts in day after day, protecting freedom for the homeschool groups of California… their knowledge and diligence in analyzing legislation and supporting our rights as homeschoolers is invaluable.”
Nathan Pierce and Family Protection Ministries provide a vital service to the private homeschool community by being our primary eyes, ears and voice at the State Capitol. With Nathan as our “watchman on the wall” we are confident that we will be able to strategically respond to any potential threat to our fundamental rights as parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of our children. CHEA of California relies heavily on Nathan and Family Protection Ministries.
