Dear Friend,

I’m writing to you not just as a lawyer, but as a father, a defender of parental rights, and as someone who believes we face a defining moment for families in California.

Just days ago, the California Legislature pushed AB 495 all the way through both the Assembly and the Senate. Despite massive public outcry, lawmakers voted to send this dangerous bill one of the most sweeping threats to parental rights we’ve ever seen, to the Governor’s desk.

Let me be clear: this fight is not theoretical anymore. If the Governor signs AB 495, it will become law.

This bill strips away parental authority and creates avenues for state interference in decisions that belong to moms and dads, not bureaucrats.

This is why PJI exists. We’ve been at the Capitol, we’ve been in the hearings, and we’ve been on the frontlines defending families. But we cannot wage this battle without your help.


>>Your gift of any size, helps PJI to continue the fight against AB 495 in California. 

At PJI, we never charge families a dime. Our strength comes entirely from the support of people like you, people who believe parents, not politicians, should raise their children.

But today, I’m asking you to do more. Because AB 495 is no longer a possibility, it’s imminent. We must be prepared the moment the Governor acts. Your gift today funds legal research, court challenges, media engagement, grassroots mobilization, and attorney deployment across the state.

Here’s what your support makes possible:
  • $25 spreads urgent alerts and mobilizes parents on social media.
  • $100 equips us with the tools to rally key legislators and decision makers.
  • $250 helps underwrite an attorney’s emergency presence in Sacramento.
  • Or give what you can, every dollar goes directly into this fight.

This is a moral battle. It is immediate. And it must be won.

Please, stand with me right now.
