In today’s culture, protecting our children’s innocence has become a significant challenge for families. Harmful agendas, like the radical LGBTQ+ movement, are infiltrating schools, leaving parents grappling with how to shield their children. Many feel powerless against policies that undermine parental rights and expose children to ideologies contrary to biblical values.

Sarah’s story is a sobering example of this reality. Living in a conservative county, she and her husband trusted their local county’s school system (Hanover) to uphold their family’s principles. That trust was shattered when they discovered a biological male claiming to be a girl had access to their daughter’s locker room. With no other options to keep her safe, they made the heart-wrenching decision to pull their daughter out of school.

The Family Foundation exists to provide families like Sarah’s with tools, resources, and support to fight back. From grassroots mobilization to legal and legislative advocacy, the Family Foundation is actively working to protect children, uphold parental rights, and promote policies based on biblical values.

How the Family Foundation is Fighting for Virginia Families

The Family Foundation tackles these challenges from multiple angles to create lasting change for families across Virginia. Here’s an outline of their approach:

1. “Speak Up!” Grassroots Teams

The Family Foundation mobilizes local teams to hold school boards accountable, ensuring privacy, fairness, and the protection of children’s innocence. These grassroots efforts empower parents and community leaders to take a stand against harmful policies directly at the school district level.
