Patriot Academy is proud to partner with fellow Patriotic organizations. See below for some of our key partners in this state and our progress on join-ventures.
Patriot Academy is proud to partner with First Liberty Institute to advance and defend religious freedom across the nation.
Turning Point USA is mobilizing millions of young Americans on high school and college campuses, equipping the next generation to champion freedom, free markets, and limited government.
The Convention of States movement has already succeeded in passing its Article V resolution in 19 states, with many more considering it now. Each passing state brings us closer to restoring constitutional balance and limiting federal overreach.

Every great movement starts with small, intentional actions. Here are the steps you can take right now to make a difference.
It’s FREE and we walk you through every step. Zero experience needed. We’ve had 13-year-olds to 91-year-olds lead these classes and you can do the same.
This absolutely proven way to build community and create informed patriotism can be organized by any patriot. We will educate, equip, empower, and inspire 5 million Americans on the principles of liberty detailed in the Declaration of Independence.
We have already had 1 million Patriots go through the courses, so with your help pouring fuel on the fire, we can reach another 4 million prior to July 4, 2026. The first 1 million went through Constitution Alive! or Biblical Citizenship in Modern America. Most of the next 4 million will go through Rebuilding Liberty and YOU can be the Host or Coach bringing people together in your community to take the course.
Every other step grows out of this first one. We will draft 100,000 Constitution Coaches to host these classes in their local communities. Out of these classes, a liberty rebuilding team will develop for each community and plan their July 4, 2026 celebration (Step #2).
We absolutely know this works because we have seen the results after thousands of classes have taken place across the Nation. As of this printing, we already have 30,109 Constitution Coaches, which means we only have 69,981 more patriots to mobilize and deploy!
These can be five or fifty people in your home, or 500 people at your church or 10,000 or more at the park or city hall or county courthouse.
The important thing is that patriots get together, read and sign the Declaration of Independence, celebrate the 250th, and commit to Rebuilding Liberty! As mentioned earlier, our goal is 5,000 Celebrations across the Nation.
After becoming a Host or Coach, click here to learn more about planning a 7-4-26 celebration.
Rick Green passed the Celebrate Freedom week law in Texas in 2001 and it requires schools to spend time on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution during the week that includes Constitution Day (September 17th).
Several other states have since adopted this law and Congress passed a federal law requiring any school receiving federal funds to do something on Constitution Day to teach the Constitution.
Display IN GOD WE TRUST, our official National Motto, at all of your local government entities including at least the Commissioner’s Court, City Council, School Board, and library.
Our friend and fellow patriot, Jacquie Sullivan, has been leading the charge on this effort for twenty-five years! Thanks to her incredible efforts, we have close to 1,000 displays of our national motto in government facilities. The 250th gives us the opportunity to ramp this up and help restore a God-consciousness and recognition of from where our strength comes.
Just imagine the difference on the attitude and mindset of local officials when they gather in session to discuss the issues of your community if there is a large display right behind them on the wall, or on the dais or platform in front of where they sit? What a great reminder to all those who come to testify before these local government bodies that our faith and trust is not in the public servants, or the people they serve, but the God who gave us liberty in the first place!
Several states have already passed laws giving added protections and encouragement to get this done, and a dozen more are in the process.
But whether your state has passed this law or not, the Coach Kennedy case at the Supreme Court clears the way for you to work on getting this done wherever you live, though you will need to convince the local officials to join you in the effort if your state has not passed a law requiring it. Patriot Academy and First Liberty have teamed up to help informed patriots across the nation get this done.
Help put Godly wisdom back in your local schools by getting Bible curriculum, chaplains, and Time Release adopted by your local school board.
The Constitutional path is clear, but most schools and their attorneys are unaware. You can be the one to bring this information to them and get these programs adopted. Patriot Academy is partnering with organizations that specialize in each of these programs and our Coaches are being trained to lead the way on each of these important items.
Restore PARENTAL RIGHTS by continuing to alter our government wherever necessary to ensure the parents, not the state or the schools or the “experts”, decide what is best for their children.
There have been some great victories in recent weeks and months to curb the radical Marxist regarding children, but there is much work yet to be done. From cleaning out the libraries, to stopping the grooming, to preventing mass medical experiments on kids, there are many areas from which to pick your battle on this issue. The video course will cover more on this topic.
Restore PROPERTY RIGHTS by adopting a Property Owner’s Bill of Rights at your local City Council or County Commissioner’s Court.
Marxist land control policies have dramatically increased the cost of our homes and completely destroyed the American Dream for many families and small businesses. We must restore property rights if freedom is to last.
Abolish any federal department that duplicates state government.
In addition to the fact that there is no constitutional authorization for federal departments such as education, agriculture, labor, fish & wildlife, and so many others; there is also absolutely no good reason to have the federal government duplicating something already being handled in each state.
Count only legal citizens in the Enumeration (the constitutional word for census), allow only legal citizens to vote, and require photo I.D. to prove it.
Yes, this requires a Constitutional Amendment, which is the proper way to alter our government at this level.
Require Term Limits for Congress and Defined Terms for Federal Judges.
This alteration of our government is long overdue, supported by a vast majority of Americans, and will only be done when state legislators do their job under the constitutional amendment process.
Abolish emergency powers at the all levels of government so that the tyranny experienced during the Covid Crackdowns never happens again.
If there is a true emergency that is serious enough for the suspension of basic rights, then Governors should be required to declare Martial Law and the legislature should be convened immediately to either overrule or agree with the Governor.
A new generation is rising to carry forward the principles of freedom. The impact in this state shows that the fight for liberty is not only alive – it’s advancing. It’s time for you to get engaged in rebuilding liberty!
