Mission

The mission of Protect Arkansas Families (PARF) is to advocate for everyday Arkansans. PARF is committed to speaking up for families and individuals whose voice is drowned out by powerful lobbying efforts (or drowned out by politics as usual). To this end, PARF will advocate for legislation that protects and secures constitutional rights and liberties. We will also identify and oppose initiatives that remove or restrict our historical constitutional rights as individuals and family members, or that otherwise hurt families, especially through any legislative effort to: 1) put a government-mandated price tag on human life 2) rig the system against families in favor of the economic interests of powerful insiders; or 3) arbitrarily limit the constitutional authority of a citizen jury in determining the full value of a family member‘s wrongful injury or death respectively, case by case, with all the relevant facts.

Protect AR Families Origins

For two years, Protect AR Families fought hard in opposition to the special interest amendment: 2018’s Issue One. Our coalition included faith-based groups, community organizations, legal rights advocates, and Arkansans from all backgrounds. This amendment was designed to give special treatment to these special interests while stripping the rights of every day Arkansans. While Issue One failed, the same special interest groups are gearing up at the State Capitol, pushing their self-serving legislation that will chip away at our freedoms. Protect AR Families remains vigilant to stop their efforts.
