PERK Discusses Decentralized AI, Data Rights, and Privacy

PERK’s own Amy Bohn joined a group of digital data experts on the OG Podcast. Amy was able to relay the importance of creating guardrails through legislation that will protect our kids' digital and bio-metric data from being harvested, stored and sold without the consent or knowledge of parents. Our kids are being targeted online, while gaming and even at school with every step we take closer to completely paperless learning. Data Hive is at the forefront of creating a way to own your own data so it can't be consolidated and traded. We believe that data rights are human rights. Listen to the many developments in AI, block chain, Web 3 both for your protection, safety and knowledge on the podcast. 

Watch experts Ray (DataHive), Michael (0G), Ali (Movement Labs), and Amy (PERK) share their insights into the future of decentralized AI, data rights, and blockchain technology. Explore how decentralized systems are reshaping the digital landscape, giving users control over their data, and transforming industries like finance, commerce, and gaming. The conversation delves into the current problems with the surveillance-based data economy, where personal information is collected and used without consent, and how decentralized solutions offer a new paradigm. Learn about the importance of data privacy, transparency, and the ethical use of data in a world increasingly driven by AI and digital platforms. Our guests explain how individuals can take ownership of their data assets and benefit from the growing value of user-controlled data, moving away from the centralized data monopolies of the past. The discussion also touches on the evolving role of decentralized finance (DeFi), on-chain gaming, and digital identity management, showing how decentralized AI and data ownership are unlocking new opportunities for users. Whether it's accessing loans, trading in-game assets, or creating personalized AI services, user-owned data is becoming a valuable asset in the new Web3 economy. Partnerships between DataHive, 0G, and Movement Labs are at the forefront of these innovations, building infrastructure that supports decentralized AI and empowers users with control over their personal information.

What You’ll Learn:

● How decentralized AI and data ownership are transforming industries from finance to gaming.

● The importance of data privacy, transparency, and ethical standards in the AI-driven digital economy.

● How partnerships between DataHive, 0G, and Movement Labs are driving innovation in decentralized applications (DApps) and AI-powered services.

● The future of decentralized commerce, DeFi, and on-chain gaming in a user-owned data ecosystem.

● The growing role of cryptocurrency in decentralized AI applications and data monetization.

This conversation is a must-watch for anyone interested in AI, blockchain, data privacy, and the future of decentralized technology. The guests provide a clear vision for how decentralized systems can reshape the digital world, giving individuals control over their data and creating a more equitable and transparent digital economy.

Support Alexis Lorenze! Warning graphic images.

PERK’s supports and sends prayers to Alexis and her family during this horrific time in their lives. Twenty-three-year-old Alexis Lorenze is currently battling a life-threatening health crisis after experiencing a severe reaction to vaccines administered at UCI Medical Center in Orange, California. Diagnosed with Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) in January, she received 3 vaccines as part of a "mandatory" condition for continued treatment. She experienced temporary blindness, jaw lock, vomiting, and her skin began turning purple, eventually spreading across much of her body. She is continuing to fight for her life in the ICU.  Please consider donating to Alexis Lorenze's Medical Expenses.

*PERK is not receiving these funds, the link below goes directly to Alexis Lorenze Medical fund created by the The Kirsh Foundation. There have been many phony donation links circulated using Alexis’ situation to scam people. This is the authentic donation link.

Alexis has a long road of recovery ahead of her.  Alexis is getting a little better every day. And her skin is beginning to heal. She is still in the hospital. If you would like to help, please consider buying them a meal.

*This is not a fundraiser for Alexis--this is solely a meal train to nourish Alexis, her dad, her sister, Samantha and Nurse Angela. If you can buy them a meal via a gift card, please do so and Mia will deliver it to the family. Thank you for helping this family. If you pray, please keep Alexis in your prayers.

Because PERK’s mission includes Medical Freedom, this particular story serves as a clear exemplification of a significant lack of informed consent, as well as highlighting the pressing and critical need for comprehensive vaccine policy reform. The voices of those who have suffered from vaccine injuries have been ignored for far too long, and it is imperative that we bring attention to their experiences. The education provided to doctors regarding vaccine injury is notably lacking, and many vaccine injuries remain under-reported. Therefore, we must make every effort to do our part in this important fight for awareness, accountability, and policy change.

October PERK Advocacy Update

By Darrlene Alquiza - Advocacy Director for PERK Advocacy

September 30th marked the Governor's final day to either pass bills with his signature or to veto those that were presented to him, effectively completing the legislative cycle. Throughout the year, PERK Advocacy took active and engaged positions of support or opposition on approximately 55 different bills in 2024. Among these, there were a total of 39 bills that we supported which successfully advanced to the second house for further consideration. Out of this group, an impressive 27 bills ultimately passed through the legislative process and were officially signed into law!

There were 5 bills that we opposed this year, and 3 of them did not pass. AB1955 was the gut and amend bill about schools developing parent notification policies regarding sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression that rushed through the legislature and was Chaptered soon thereafter.

AB1825 regarding libraries was a concern, but an amendment was made in our favor to remove language pertaining to school libraries. AB734 is the tackle football bill that died early on in the legislative process. 

PERK Advocacy submitted 2 letters to the governor asking for a veto, and they were granted: SB907 regarding making changes to the Orange County Board of Education and SB2442 regarding expediting licensing for doctors who would provide gender affirming care were vetoed.

Thank you to all of the members and followers who participated in our campaigns and voiced your support and concerns to your state representatives. Your voice matters.

PERK Sends Alert to California Superintendents that AB 1955 Does Not Supersede Parental Notification

PERK is leading the way to educate school officials on AB 1955 to maintain extremely important parental notification policies. AB 1955, just signed into law by Governor Newsom, is a school policy of secrecy that comes between the parent and their child. Current educational code permits school counselors to disclose confidential information to principals and parents when there is reasonable cause to believe that such disclosure is necessary to avert a clear and present danger to the health, safety, or welfare of the student or other members of the school community.

Given this context, PERK has sent a mass email campaign to all Superintendents to urge that school districts continue to adhere to the provisions of California Education Code Section 49602(c), which we believe takes precedence over the newly enacted AB 1955.

If you are a superintendent, school board member, public or private school administrator or educator and you are interested in joining us in a coalition of passionate leaders and educators to protect parental notification please fill out this private Google Form https://bit.ly/AB1955

PPRA Opting Out of Curriculum

New Resource from PERK

Protection of children's rights always coincide with protecting parental rights and parental notification.  Parents are increasingly concerned about the curriculum being taught to their children.  Rightfully so! Instead of learning the essential academics critical for successful education, schools are used as an indoctrination machine.  Kids learn more about political ideologies, woke philosophies, with a hyper emphasis on the over sexualization of young children..  We can all agree that many times these are all hidden in "curriculum" that parents have never seen before.  Furthermore, parents don't even know they can opt out of harmful curriculum or content that is against their values and beliefs.  We decided that this easy to understand process and resources is a necessity for every parent. It is important to recognize that federal law allows parents to:

(1) review the curriculum used to instruct their children in public schools, and 

(2) prevent schools from asking highly personal questions about students’ sex lives, drug usage, and matters of that nature without parental consent. 

This law, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, 20 U.S.C. § 1232h, is one important—but until now little-used tool for holding administrators and teachers accountable. 

Prager U Kids: How To Deal with Transgenderism in Schools with Amy Bohn

Prager U kids featured our information about PPRA in a recent interview.  Parents can also demand that the school obtain prior written consent for any activity, other than direct academic instruction, related to or informed by critical race theory, gender ideology, or social-emotional learning principles. 

If schools do not fulfill their obligations under the PPRA, parents can and should report violations. 

We can't ever be complacent in the educating and the rearing of our children.  Know what they are learning. Be in the driver seat as the parent.

Stay Empowered!
