(This question came in on the July 17, 2023 Livestream video on our Facebook page, but we're copying the answer here because it's important!)
ANSWER:
She is. And has been for 35 years.
Brenda has been doing this for decades on a very low budget, supported mostly by individual parents, and largely unpaid. But Brenda is approaching retirement... and she's going to need others to take up the mantle.
This is why we've recently had some new people come on board who are volunteering their time and work to help get the word out better about HEF and Brenda, and to help raise support so that Brenda can continue to do what she does... and so she can begin training new people to take on the role of lobbyist when she's no longer able to do it.
It is vital we keep a full-time lobbyist in the capitol to protect our home education rights.
If you believe in the importance of this work, you can help support Brenda and HEF right here on our site at our Support page! We have monthly Support tiers, or you can make a one-time donation.
It all adds up. If every family donated even a few dollars a month, it would make a huge difference!
