A bill in California that expands the list of individuals who could assume a “caregiver” role over children without requiring parental notification has passed the state legislature and now sits on Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) desk for his possible signature. Parental rights advocates are urging Newsom to veto the measure, which they say further undermines the rights of parents as the primary educators and decision makers for their children.
Thousands of common-sense conservatives swarmed the California capital Tuesday, along with tens of thousands more online. Jack Hibbs, Pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills and founder of the Real Life Network, encouraged all those opposed to child trafficking to keep praying and keep fighting to protect children.
AB 495 is formerly called "the Family Preparedness Act of 2025" and is authored by Democratic Assemblywoman Celeste Rodriguez. The bill would essentially allow an adult, who is not required to be a relative, to pick up a child from school or daycare. All they have to know is the child's name and birthday, fill out an eight-question affidavit, say that they tried to reach out to the parents, and leave with the child—no proof required.
California Pastor Jack Hibbs called on his congregation at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills to voice opposition to an "unthinkable" new bill that would have disastrous repercussions for children in the state. "For years, we have been telling you about bad bills that they have been doing—this takes the cake," Hibbs underscored. "We want to make a statement because AB 495, one hundred percent strips parents of their parental rights."
“Governor Newsom’s signing of AB 1955 is a direct assault on the safety of children and the rights of their parents. By allowing schools to withhold vital information from mothers and fathers, this bill undermines their fundamental role and places boys and girls in potential jeopardy”
The impact of Governor Bill Lee's proclamation has stretched far beyond its State's border, prompting California Pastor Jack Hibbs to call on American Pastors and Churches from every State to "be Tennesseans" for the month of July.
Experts have pointed out that the amendment’s wording could legalize controversial relationships, including those between more than two people, genetically related individuals, or even minors.
The initiative, called the Protect Kids California Act by its authors, was approved for consideration by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, but only after Bonta changed how the title of the initiative would appear on ballots—from the original title to the “Restrict Rights of Transgender Youth” act.
Government schools are not just dumbing down and brainwashing captive children. They are now literally bribing them with taxpayer money to promote totalitarian policies and dangerous ideas that have produced death, starvation, misery, and destruction everywhere they take root.
The schools promote their commitment to “individualized and inclusive learning” through these programs, but with one “glaring exception”—faith-based learning material, the lawsuit states.
A California state bill presented to become law making it so that parents in custody battles who do not affirm the gender identity of their children may be liable for child abuse, and our President calls banning transgender-affirming care “sinful.”
“Once again this is government overreach, and the political cartel of Bonta, [Gov. Gavin] Newsom and [State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony] Thurmond is using their muscle and taxpayers’ dollars to shut parents out of their children’s lives."
Why tear down Christian symbols if, as they claim, the Bible isn’t true? Why fight to remove crosses from coast to coast as if you’re threatened by something you don’t even believe in?

“The more Californians learn that Proposition 1 would legalize late-term abortion, the more they oppose it. This isn’t surprising since 79 percent of likely California voters said in an earlier poll that they would not support killing a child up until birth."
The biggest battleground and the most significant war that's taking place in this nation, if not the world, is the demonic murder of children in the womb, and California is leading the way.

"Now they are coming after newborns. If you think it will stop there, you don’t know how decay works. Dead things continue to decompose, and it doesn’t stop until there’s nothing left."
"The bill itself is full of misinformation and a demonstration of what a disaster it would be to have the legislature dictate the practice of medicine."
"AB 2223 goes beyond any other pro-abortion bill," Pastor Jack Hibbs warned. "Killing born babies is an incomprehensible heinous crime that has no place in California legislation"
