Is this true for your family?

"A lot of families are (homeschooling) not because they have some ideological or philosophical commitment to it. They're just recognizing it as a means to meet whatever needs happen to be present for that particular child." https://t.co/ZTVpBR77QB

When you give, you show up. And there is a dignity in that giving, which our culture rarely names. The world imagines charity flowing one way—from the strong down to the struggling. But in Scripture we see that it flows both directions. Generosity is the image of a generous God at work in you.

When you give, you are not a rescuer stooping toward the rescued. You are a neighbor taking your place in the communal body—bound to the families you help in mutual dignity, as you are both colaborers in one work. And the roles are not fixed. “I look forward to one day being able to bless someone else financially, as you all have,” one grant recipient told us.

Today’s receiver is tomorrow’s giver.

"The Home School Graduation Recognition Act is a win-win. It benefits institutions of higher education amid declining enrollment. Colleges and universities, as well as trade schools, can safely accept homeschool high school graduates without fearing that the U.S. Department of Education will question their acceptance practices.

Second, and more importantly, it will benefit homeschool students. It will ensure that a homeschool student who works hard and graduates with a homeschool high school diploma can go to college without worrying about his or her diploma being unfairly scrutinized.

We ask the U.S. Senate to act swiftly to pass the Home School Graduation Recognition Act."

As we prepare for another busy legislative season in a few months, here are ways you can help:

• Get legal updates by joining our email list at https://t.co/BQdyHjHOt0 and following us on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

• Meet your legislators: If they already know you, they will be more likely to listen when reviewing bills.

• Donate at https://t.co/VsmLVcA7vo: Funds help our legal team monitor bills, work with legislators, travel to hearings and Capitol Days, and show up in court for member families.

• Talk to your neighbors and share why you love homeschooling, so that negative media stories aren’t the only ones they hear.

• Pray

HSLDA co-founder Michael Farris, who has watched these battles for 43 years, summarizes them with a single rule: In a legislature, victory goes to the side with the most participation. If more people show up, that side wins.

Thank you for partnering with us to defend and promote homeschool freedom today and for generations to come.
