- Success stories of parents transitioning from local school board activism to state legislative roles
- How universal school choice initiatives and education savings accounts put educational decisions back in parents' hands
- Updates on the Heritage's new Parental Rights Initiative and efforts to bring together various organizations across partisan lines
- How parental rights issues have impacted recent elections, including Glenn Youngkin's gubernatorial victory in Virginia
- An assessment of the Trump administration's early actions on parental rights, including protecting girls' sports and Education Secretary Linda McMahon
- Practical advice for concerned parents: get involved locally, run for office, build relationships with teachers, and watch for the upcoming Parental Rights Network
