Julie Barrett
Founder & Executive Director
Julie Barrett is a mother of four and the founder of Protecting Kids Online. After a personal encounter with Washington State's anti-parent laws in 2021, Julie began studying legislation and showing up to testify — and hasn't stopped since. She has testified in statehouses across the country, including Florida, Wisconsin, South Dakota, Georgia, Kansas, Alabama, and more, defeating eight out of nine bills where PKO has been present. Julie founded Conservative Ladies of America and built Protecting Kids Online as the counter-coalition that didn't exist — bringing real, informed parent voices into the rooms where decisions about families are being made.
