Programs: Legal services - heritage defense employs attorneys who provide information, consultation, and legal representation for the protection of children and the preservation of civil rights and civil liberties secured by law for both parents and children. Such services have been provided to families who are unfamiliar with their rights and have general legal questions, families seeking the best available medical care for their children, families pursuing optimal developmental opportunities for their children with disabilities, families contacted by child protective services, and to many other families seeking to advance the welfare, health and safety of their children.
public education - heritage defense collects news and information relating to the protection of children and the preservation of civil rights and civil liberties secured by law for both parents and children, researches and publishes articles relating to the protection of children and the preservation of civil rights and civil liberties secured by law for both parents and children, publishes legal overviews and summaries about the state of civil rights and civil liberties secured by law for both parents and children in all fifty states, and provides guides for parents to prepare to protect their children and defend themselves in the event such rights come under attack. These materials are made publicly available through the organization's web site, through various social media platforms, and through email to those who sign up for the organization's free email newsletter.
legislative advocacy - heritage defense performed a very limited amount of legislative advocacy in 2014. At this time, heritage defense prioritizes its limited resources more highly to its legal services and public education program services. As resources increase, flexibility to perform increasing legislative advocacy should also increase.
