PACT's Contributions to "Wins" in Loudoun County Since We Began This Fight:
- November 2021: Contributed to Governor Youngkin winning the gubernatorial election

Parents Against Critical Theory (PACT) is a grassroots advocacy and outreach organization that is adamantly opposed to Critical Race Theory (CRT) in all forms. PACT is dedicated to bringing awareness to the whole country about this regressive and divisive ideology spreading throughout society and schools and exposing the people and entities responsible for it.
In 2020, our world changed forever and in just two (2) years, Americans realized that our country and our communities (state and local levels) have been undergoing changes in unimaginable ways. The impact of Covid 19 revealed the absolute truth behind the promises our Founding Fathers madeto America’s people at the inception of our nation.
When unchecked, corruption, deception, and ideological special interests will encroach with tyranny and consume every part of our lives. We’ve gotten a taste of it and the time is now to reject it andinstitutionalize a culture of watchingto protect the best interest of our nation and her People.
Whether it’s political activism in the schools, degradation of public safety, defunding the police, promoting illegal immigration and bypassing citizenship regulations, big government “crisis” spending, or any other progressive agenda item that is negatively impacting our way of life, Americans can no longer afford to ignore the root cause of the destruction that we are funding ourselves with our taxpayer dollars. It is long past due we optimize our talents and volunteer our time to take a stand against corruption, greed, incompetence, and tyranny once and for all.
We will do it together. We will create a NEW CULTURE to pass on to our children. One that demands transparency and oversight, governed by The People, for The People. We will watch, we will report, we will assess and when they try to hide their corruption, we will uncover it together to expose the truth and hold those who do not love our country accountable for their actions.
Political candidates either trust voters to do the deep and necessary research to know who they are voting for, based on their words and actions, or they are counting on Americans NOT to.The media has proven to be a joke; dishonest and bought off. Special Interest Groups and Corporations have a blatant disregard for freedom, doing everything in their power to buy off politicians and control a narrative aimed at expanding their reach and taking independence away from our lives.

Update #6 January 16, 2022
1/16/22: Call me whatever you want but a Day One like this is hard to beat!
Thank you all so much for your support over the past several months. We’re now heading into the Fall and Loudoun County has once again taken over the news in a huge way, especially as Joe Biden and the DOJ wage war against Parents, branding us as “Domestic Terrorists.” But here’s the truth: We are NOT looting. We are NOT stealing. We are not burning down businesses. What we ARE doing is showing up at board meetings and advocating for OUR values, rejecting the lunacy of CRT, and demanding that academics be the central focus of the education that WE, the taxpayers, pay for! The Left HATES it when we exercise our rights and our beloved freedom – and clearly, they and their cronies will stop at nothing to control their “kingdom.”
Highlights:
Media Summary: PACT was 3X featured on Bannon’s War Room, FOX and Friends, Newsmax's Stinchfield Show, we’ve been cited as a reference in Dr. Carol Swain’s new book
Hosting Zoom meetings with parents groups across the country to help them understand what's needed to get in this fight
June 2, 2021, we filed a discrimination lawsuit against Loudoun County Public Schools for discrimination against my kids through racist and segregated school "clubs". We are working to have this school club eliminated as well as a new resource they are using called "Bias Incident Reporting System": https://parentsagainstcrt.com/lawsuit/
August 21, 2021 we hosted an all day workshop with Dr. James Lindsay for parents, teachers and students, 100+ attendees
September 8, 2021, we sponsored an anti-crt event with Dr. Ben Carson at Lansdowne Resort in Loudoun County, 1,000 attendees
September 28, 2021, we collaborated with Matt Walsh from the Daily Wire for a live event at the Loudoun County School Admin building: https://stoplcpscrt.com/2021/09/29/we-the-parents-of-virginia-rally-video-with-matt-walsh/
October 16, 2021, hosting a workshop for parents and teachers at our local Embassy Suites hotel to provide an understanding of what the Social Emotional Learning material is like for each grade level and how this anti-racist/social justice material is harming their children: https://stoplcpscrt.com/2021/09/28/10-16-21-1-3pm-pact-to-hold-second-step-sel-casel-and-learning-for-justice-workshop-for-parents-and-teachers/
Created a parental "opt-out" letter that is currently being used nationally (I've used it personally this year for my daughter): https://parentsagainstcrt.com/getting-involved/parental-opt-out-letter/
Partnered with a law firm (ADF) to help teachers that are facing backlash or problems as a result of CRT: https://parentsagainstcrt.com/getting-involved/legal-pathway-for-teachers/
We've created a "CRT Incident Reporting System" where teachers, parents, and students can provide us with CRT type material in the classrooms or lessons: https://parentsagainstcrt.com/getting-involved/crt-incident-reporting/
I hope this helps to understand what it is that PACT is doing. I understand that it can be difficult to appreciate what an organization is doing by a simple email asking for a donation. We thank you so much for your consideration, generosity, and prayers, especially now that the FBI has declared that we are "domestic terrorists"!

PACT Update for May 16 2021 May 22, 2021
Once again, THANK YOU all for your financial support, kind words, encouragement, and prayers! Without all of you, we would not have been able to achieve 43% of our goal, nor would we have had the ability to keep our strength (mental/emotional/physical)! So what have we done with the donations so far and other happenings:
Marketing/Outreach:
PACT was able to hire a conservative marketing/outreach firm that specializes in: digital/mobile/print and direct mail advertising. How they are helping PACT:
• PACT is Now Officially Nonprofit Entity: On Friday, May 14th, Parents Against Critical Theory (PACT) became a 501C(4) nonprofit! This took a few weeks but all the paperwork was finalized this past Friday
• During the week of May 17th, PACT is targeting to launch a national and targeted media campaign to raise awareness and additional support for fighting CRT
• If this campaign is successful in the very early stages, we will be launching some very direct, hard-hitting, and informative videos/PSA's across social media
• Currently, PACT utilizes our original website stoplcpscrt.com for posts, news, etc. However, we launched a new website (soft release) parentsagainstcrt.com, and over the next few weeks, our "old" website will merge with our new one. The new website is a much cleaner, more user-friendly interface AND we are going to be building out a platform to
• Provide people across the country with a "framework" or "blueprint" on how they can organize their own community fight like PACT. Including information on how to:
• Create FOIA's (Freedom of Information Act) requests, the many different types of FOIA's they can and should submit
• Where and how to create a website to create awareness and expose those responsible for bringing CRT into their community and schools
• Offer community-focused Zoom meetings to help answer questions, provide guidance, and make the initiative more personable, you know with real people!
Partnerships/Alliances:
Over the course of the past few months, PACT has met many amazing people and have established several important partnerships/alliances:
• 1776 Action: 1776 Action is an issue advocacy organization focused on stopping the anti-American indoctrination happening in our schools. 1776 is supported by Dr. Ben Carson and Newt Gingrich and (2) weeks ago, Governor Kriti Noem was the first candidate to sign their pledge!
• Fight for Schools: Fight for Schools is a non-partisan political action committee focused on electing common-sense candidates that commit to policies that support equal opportunity, tolerance, meritocracy, and achievement. Fight for Schools is currently heading of the recall effort of (6) of the (9) Loudoun County School Board members. We've been able to get more than 3,000 in the first week!
• We're also working with a few other key organizations, but it is too early to confirm our partnership/alliance, however, it is my hope that by the time I send out our next update we'll have these confirmed
Media:
• 4/16/21 Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/us/loudoun-county-critical-race-theory-divided
• 4/16/21 Fox News (Ian Prior Opinion): https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/critical-race-theory-virginia-school-parent-ian-prior

• 5/12/21 - 5/14/21: We had (8) different appearances on Fox News, including Shawntel Cooper, the African American mother that scolded the school board on 5/11/21 and immediately went viral!
• **The week of May 17th will not be any different, as well as the following week, we have a few things up our sleeves. Additionally, we are on track for a major announcement by the end of May that will shake the very ground this school district rests upon!**
Thank you all once again for the support, encouraging words, and prayers!

PACT Update for April 15, 2021 April 15, 2021
Once again, THANK YOU all for your financial support, kind words, and prayers! Without all of you, we would not have been able to achieve 20% of our goal! So what have we done with the donations so far:
Marketing/Social Media: We are working with a marketing group, that is NOT woke, and I'm currently waiting on a final proposal. We are working to:
Expanding our social media reach
Launching multiple email campaigns over the next few months to continue spreading CRT awareness and expand PACT's "brand" recognition
Creating a tri-fold or multipage literature for distribution
PACT Newsletters: This week, we started to send out a variety of different newsletters and will be expanding beyond what we've done so far:
Weekly Newsletter with the (10) previous posts
PACT Woke Wear, to inform people that PACT has a new store with a variety of products for sale
Video compilation of CRT in LCPS schools, and public outcry at school board meetings
Content Resources: With the approaching launch of our new website, we've decided to make it a CRT content-rich website. The idea is to be able to provide people with a "one-stop" resource to learn more about CRT, provide video, slide, and presentation examples, etc. In preparation, we've subscribed to "Scribd" which has a plethora of resources that will help the heavy readers, light readers, and everything in between. We want to make it as easy as possible for people to learn about this racist pandemic called CRT
PACT has received countless requests to offer assistance in a variety of areas around the country. We have done what we can thus far, however, I know we can do more to help. The challenge we are facing is how to do this effectively, consistently, and with very limited bandwidth. This is all brand new to me, so I'm not exactly sure what the best pathway forward is. Possibly crafting a business plan in search of grants or "seed" funding? If anyone has anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!
Media since our last update:
4/8/21 PACT was on Fox and Friends to Discuss CRT in Loudoun County Public Schools: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6247559157001#sp=show-clips

Thank you all once again for the support, encouraging words, and prayers!

Update #2 April 5, 2021
The people of America are amazing! The Woke Mob and Big Tech honestly believe the American people are either too dumb, complacent or afraid to fight back. Through the support of (137) thoughtful and generous donors to PACT and our fight against CRT, we've not only proven that they are out of touch but have also demonstrated that more people CARE about the destruction of our great country than don't. PACT has had the GiveSendGo fundraiser up for less than a week and we've almost raised 3X the amount than what was raised on GFM when they shut it down! Thank you all for the donations, prayers and kind and supportive comments!
What's happened since our last update:
PACT was on Fox and Friends on 4/3 discussion GoFundMe cancelling our fundraiser: https://video.foxnews.com/v/6246468543001#sp=show-clips

PACT is in the early stages of talking/working with an organization that is releasing a heavy initiative focused on "1776" education. This is still very early, and we hope to provide an update within the next week. There are some very key players involved in this project, fingers crossed we are able to move forward!
We live our life with the Serenity Prayer at the heart of all we do. It's our beacon of hope, reality, and strength! Thank you all for your support, prayers and kind words. Onward and upward!

Scott Mineo
Thank You!! April 1, 2021
It's only been about (48) hours since we created our GiveSendGo fundraiser and so far, we've exceeded what was generated on GoFundMe when it was shut down! They say things happen for a reason! I am scheduling a few meetings with attorney's, actively working on our PR awareness and working with local HS students (PACT RATS) to bring their stories and experiences with CRT out. There are many people speaking out against CRT but some of the most important voices not being heard, and are the ones CRT is directly impacting. PACT had a good day from a media perspective as well. We are not backing down, in fact we've been doubling down! When you have facts, truth, and God on your side there's no reason not to stand up against those that seek to condemn us. Below are a few links to recent news articles. Again, thank you so much for all of the support, prayers and kind words!
