Parental Rights Initiative
Restoring America Through Strong Families
The Parental Rights Initiative at The Heritage Foundation is dedicated to restoring America by strengthening the family unit and re-empowering parents as the cornerstone of self-government and Western Civilization. This is our mission. We believe that robust families are the foundation of a thriving society, and we’re committed to equipping parents with the knowledge, tools, and legal support to protect their fundamental rights and make informed decisions for their children.
Empowering Parents to Lead
Parents are the heart of our communities and the key to raising the next generation. Through cutting-edge research, strategic policy advocacy, and unwavering legal support, the Parental Rights Initiative empowers you to stand up for your rights and shape your children’s future. Whether challenging overreaching policies or championing laws that uphold parental authority, we ensure your voice is heard in every critical conversation.
Parental rights are a fundamental part of American life. All research agrees that when parents are involved, child outcomes improve across every category. We have the attention of the President and policymakers. This is our best chance to make parental rights in America lasting and permanent.”
