Use Our One-click Feature to Contact Your Representatives on Critical Bills

Dear Powerful Parents,


The end of the legislative session is a few weeks away. There are a few bills still in play that are of interest to parents, and our legislators need to know how you want them to vote.


We know how busy your lives are, so we have created a quick and easy way for you to contact your representatives. With one click, you can contact your senator and assembly person and let them know where you stand.


There are four bills that need action today. AB205, AB416, SB63 and AB441. with our one-click feature, it takes less than 5 minutes to engage with your representatives and be proactive.


Together, we can make positive things happen for education and families in Nevada!

Vote No on AB205: Maintain Opt-in for Sex Education

Assembly Bill 205 (AB205) will change our current opt-in system to opt-out. Opt-out means giving schools blanket permission to teach sex-ed in any subject at any time by removing the permission slips parents sign to give permission for their child to participate. It also makes sex ed mandatory "if written refusal of the parent or guardian is not received, the pupil must attend each lesson of the course or unit." Currently, 95% of permission slips are being returned. The opt-in system is working. This bill makes assumptions—not based on data—about the 5% who don’t return slips. Parents who do not return a permission slip are not necessarily disengaged. We should not legislate based on assumptions, especially when it concerns the rights of families. Switching to opt-out is not about access to sex ed —it’s about diminishing transparency and limiting parental involvement.

Contact your representatives today. You can view our example letter and customize it all in one step.

Vote NO on AB416: Parents want to have a voice in curating library books and materials at their schools.

Assembly Bill 416 (AB416) removes essential oversight from parents and places an unfair burden on families by requiring them to seek judicial ruling to determine whether library materials are appropriate for their children. This legislation not only restricts parents' direct involvement and the ability to curate a library at their local school, and sets an excessively high threshold - court intervention - to address parental concerns.

Vote Yes on SB63: Gives parents essential tools to protect their children online.

Social media poses well-documented risks to youth mental health—including anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and cyberbullying. Senate Bill (SB63) responds by setting reasonable safeguards: requiring age verification, limiting addictive features like infinite scrolling, and empowering parents to control when and how their children use social media.

Vote No on AB441: Preserve Opportunity Scholarships for Low Income Children

Assembly Bill 441 (AB441) would gut Nevada’s only private school scholarship option for low-income families. It limits flexibility for scholarship organizations and jeopardizes continuity for students who rely on multi-year funding for their school choice options. This bill, if passed, would relegate low income kids back to their failing schools and would hurt the kids it claims to help by reducing their educational options.


In addition to providing programs that strengthen families and empower parents to advocate for their children, much of our work happens quietly behind the scenes—ensuring parents are represented where decisions are made. Your support helps us continue this important work: defending parental rights and expanding school choice across Nevada. When you stand up for one child, you stand up for many.

A gift of $10, $25, or $50 today helps amplify the voice of parents and protect the rights that matter most to families.
