Our executive team is led by highly influential and effective leaders in California activism and politics and works with our growing nationally recognized advisory committee members.
Scott is an intellectual property attorney and Director of the Carlsbad Education Alliance, an education advocacy group. He began working in education in 2020 to reopen public schools, which eventually led to a successful lawsuit against Gavin Newsom in March of 2021, allowing schools across California to fully reopen.
Scott continued to work with local and state parent groups to end harmful pandemic restrictions on children and advocate for reform in public schools. In 2022, he co-founded Students First California, a statewide group committed to electing school board members who support parental rights and the interests of students over those of the teachers unions and government bureaucrats. Although unsuccessful in his own bid for the Carlsbad School Board, a fellow parental rights candidate did win, flipping the Board out of teachers union control.

Jonathan later co-founded Students First California with the goal of improving policy and political action at the school board level. In 2022, he assisted on congressional, state assembly, county supervisor, and school board races. Jonathan was elected himself as a school board trustee in Roseville in November 2022 and has been a strong advocate for parents and normalcy for kids.

Nicole Pearson is a mother, attorney, and founder of FACTS LAW TRUTH JUSTICE, a civil and human rights and constitutional law firm dedicated to defending our fundamental rights and to protecting children. The daughter of immigrants, Nicole has a profound appreciation for the freedom and opportunities provided by this country. It is for this reason that in 2020 she rose up to defend the individual liberties or adults and children in response to the coordinated assault by politicians, special interest groups, and private entities emboldened by the government.
Nicole and her firm defeated the Los Angeles and Piedmont Unified School Districts’ illegal CV19 vaccine mandates for children and ended Orange County’s local and health “emergencies”; killed California “bad bills” SB 866, which would have allowed 12+ year olds to consent to any and all vaccines; AB 1993, which would have required CV19 vaccines to work and intern; AB 1940, which would have turned public schools into “student-focused health clinics; and – most recently – AB 957 and SB 599, which would have removed custody and visitation rights of parents who were either not ready or unwilling to affirm their child’s gender confusion, respectively; and helped draft and pass Parental Notification Policies up and down the state. She has testified before at the California Capitol; been interviewed on FOX, Epoch Times, OANN, NTD, Frank Speech, KTLA, Univision, TeleMundo, and El Dialogo Libre; and has written for the Daily Signal, Epoch Times, Post Millennial, SUBSTACK, and more.
Nicole is committed to restoring normalcy, reason, and basic decency for our children, and looks forward to seeing the Protect Kids CA initiatives become law.
