Erin Phillips, President and CEO:
"In 2014, I attended an invite only school district committee meeting where a graphic sexuality education curriculum was introduced, suggesting kindergarteners be taught about topics like masturbation. I was appalled. Shortly after that, our school district introduced it to the community and outrage ensued. The turnout to fight against this curriculum was so big that the superintendent at the time, ultimately pulled the curriculum. It was then that a group of parents who attended those district meetings gathered in someone's living room and began to discuss the need for an organized effort to expose the degradation of parental rights that was uncovered not only here, but also around the United States. Power2Parent was born with the initial mission to inform, organize, and mobilize parents and community members to protect parental rights. After the first full year of our journey, I became the President and finally "formally" organized our small board. Through our diligence and hard work, we learned many lessons on how to advocate effectively for our children, how to grow two separate organizations; grassroots and political, and how to mobilize parents in Nevada and concerned community members for the protection of parental rights. It hasn't been easy, but it's been worth it. We've had much success and learned through great losses. All of these years later, our growth has led to the ultimate formation of the antithesis of unions who have too much power...our Power2Parent Union which is rapidly expanding in every state across the United States." |

Power2Parent has grown in the last decade from a small group of parents to one of the most influential parents' rights groups in Nevada.
Our efforts to inform and organize parents in meetings and hearings has stopped bad policy and exposed dangerous agendas from groups who do not believe you should have the right to parent your children the way you see fit. We began to citizen lobby in our 2015 legislative session. In the 2017 legislative session, we stopped a Planned Parenthood backed bill aimed at taking away your right to know when your child would be taught sexuality education. We then beat them again in an effort to mandate comprehensive sexuality education to every school throughout the state in 2019.
We work diligently every day to monitor issues that circumvent your parental voice.
Why is this so vitally important? Because if people don’t know their rights and don’t know that they are under attack by well funded national groups, they will continue to weaken these rights. But, we cannot do it without you.
Fast forward to 2020 and the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic, we worked hard to help parents advocate for their children in education, assisted counties in opening micro schools with a great organization, Microschooling Nevada, and also helped them educate the public on alternative schooling options, joined Nevada School Choice in their efforts to fight for school choice dollars and more. We educated and supported the efforts of parents who wanted to homeschool their children, planned rallies to advocate for the needs of children through the pandemic (safely), and more.
All of our work led to the formation and announcement of our P2P Parent Union which rapidly grew into over 10,000 members. We are now expanding across the United States. Contact us to start a union in your state today!
