On March 31, 2026 we kick off the Defense of Democracy “April "Club America" Awareness Campaign,” where advocates commit to attending one school board meeting during the month of April to read a prepared statement and inform local official about the risks of allowing a Club America chapter into schools.
Lets ensure that no school board in our region approves a "Club America" chapter without first understanding the legal and safety liabilities involved.
When you sign up to be an April Advocate, we will provide:
A Ready-to-Use Script: A 3-minute speech professionally drafted to focus on legal and safety concerns (not just politics).
The "Board Packet": A one-page fact sheet and a sample Board Resolution to hand to the Board Secretary for their records.
Logistical Support: Need help finding your board’s meeting schedule or understanding the rules for public comment? Our team is standing by to look that up for you.
Peer Coaching: If you’re nervous, we can hop on a quick call to help you practice your remarks.
