Why Policy & Legislation Matter

Lasting change is built on the foundation of effective laws and regulations that protect family rights

and promote equity.


By drafting, advocating for, and securing policy reforms, we create enduring frameworks that support parents and strengthen communities across America.


By working toward a lasting impact, we can:

  • Influence the rules that govern parental rights, custody, and workplace flexibility
  • Secure funding and protections for family support programs
  • Create systemic change that outlasts any single campaign

Current Legislative Priorities

Equal Shared Parenting

Mandate 50/50 custody as the default in family courts (unless abuse or neglect is definitively shown), establish parent support services, run public awareness campaigns on dual-parent involvement, and highlight cost savings to government assistance programs.

Economic Opportunity for Families

Enact universal paid family leave, boost funding for affordable childcare, promote affordable housing initiatives, secure targeted tax relief (e.g., enhanced child tax credits, childcare deductions), and require living-wage standards.

School Choice

Remove district-based residency limits on public school enrollment, implement state-funded voucher programs, expand high-quality charter schools, and create Education Savings Accounts that let parents direct public funds toward approved educational expenses.

Criminal Justice Reform

Shift non-violent, first-time offenses toward rehabilitation over incarceration; overhaul private prison oversight; eliminate forced prison labor; ensure humane conditions; impose stricter sentences for violent and repeat offenders; and legalize and regulate select substances to reduce incarceration and fund treatment.

Safe and Supportive Communities

Support community policing models that build trust between residents and law enforcement, invest in neighborhood revitalization projects, and expand after-school and youth development programs.

Universal Basic Healthcare

Guarantee a baseline of essential health services for every citizen, expand telehealth access in rural and underserved areas, launch preventive‐care education campaigns, and control costs through price transparency and pharmaceutical regulation.
