Join us for the official launch of Dr. Corey DeAngelis’ new book, The Parent Revolution, in which he unapologetically argues why parents and political leaders must lean into the culture war taking place in schools. Dr. DeAngelis exposes the hypocritical elites who are content to hold other people’s children captive to poorly run government schools while sending their own children to the best private and charter schools out there. And most importantly, he equips readers with the ability to make sure the potent forces of the educational industrial complex don’t regain their footing.
Dr. DeAngelis is a senior fellow at the American Federation for Children and a visiting fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution. He has been labeled the “school choice evangelist” and called “the most effective school choice advocate since Milton Friedman.”

Almost every developed country suffers from a birth dearth—in which average fertility is so low that a country fails to replace its population. Some countries have taken drastic policy measures to try to reverse this trend. Policymakers in the United States, however, have just started to ponder the problem and how they might try to solve it.
Though policies can surely make some difference in a country’s fertility (for both good and ill), it seems clear that religion and religious beliefs play a crucial role in both marriage and fertility rates. How should policymakers account for this?
Join us for an engaging conversation with the authors of two important new books that explore the source of the current fertility crisis and what we might do to fix it.

Securing essential resources is a critical national security priority. This imperative fuels geostrategic competition between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC). However, over many years, the PRC has executed a plan to reverse roles by infiltrating and dominating the “green movement” embraced by many on the political left.
To dissect this challenge, The Heritage Foundation’s Davis Institute of National Security and Foreign Policy is launching the “Chinese Handcuffs” project. These symbolic handcuffs represent the U.S. environmental agenda, which dates back to the 1970s but has accelerated significantly under the Biden administration. Unfortunately, this acceleration has come at the cost of natural U.S. energy advantages and energy consumers. In the coming months, Heritage’s Chinese Handcuffs project will delve into two interconnected themes: the CCP’s calculated strategy to control “green energy” sources and the consequences of the American left’s eagerness to collaborate with China in the fight against climate change.
Dr. Victoria Coates, Jack Spencer, and Erin Walsh from The Heritage Foundation, along with Landon Derentz from The Atlantic Council, will explore these project elements and China’s perilous energy developments.

January 2021 marked the beginning of an illegal immigration boom in the United States, which has led to a drastic increase in violent crime across the country. In many cases, the criminal aliens were present not in spite of federal, state, or local policy but because of intentional policy choices advanced by the left.
Heritage’s new data visualization tool, “Border Insecurity and Lax Law Enforcement Lead to Preventable Crime,” showcases the very real harm being caused to Americans across the country by open border and soft-on-crime policies. Drawing from this tool, our program will highlight the policy choices that have led to countless preventable crimes, as well as proposed solutions to keep Americans safe.
