 Parental Rights are Under Attack

Help us help families by protecting parental rights, watching for and influencing new laws and policies that may adversely effect families in the future, and by donating to our organization so that we may keep up this good fight.

We had a very successful fight for families during 2009 (81st Texas Legislature) but we need your help to continue our valuable work.  Whether you knew it or not, PGC was defending your parental rights at the Texas state capitol as well as at the national level this past year.  We fought bad legislation, sought to change legislation to lean in favor of families, and supported good legislation that helped parents and children.  But this task comes at a price.  It takes hard-working, tenacious parent advocates to point to the large, white elephant in the room.  It takes brave advocates to often be the only ones in meetings speaking the truth and pointing out negative consequences of policies and actions in an industry focused on tearing families apart.

Through our work, we have learned that it takes a very respectful, delicate balance to keep parental rights in tact while also protecing children.  The two are not mutually exclusive.  We believe that children can remain protected from abuse and neglect without destroying parental rights.
Please help us with our goals to protect children and families and help parents do the best job they can do.

And thank you to all who have supported us since our beginning in 2004.  It's been a wild, but successful ride and we hope to keep up this important work in the future with your continued help and support.

THANK YOU
