Moms for Liberty draws power from its diffusion and the social issues that animate it. These include the teaching of LGBTQ+ issues, critical race theory, and school books that it considers pornographic — all of which have captivated the base of the GOP.
Before the Hamilton County, Indiana, chapter of Moms for Liberty achieved national notoriety this month for quoting Adolf Hitler in its newsletter, it was already at war over education in the schools of Indianapolis’ suburbs.
“Looking forward to seeing all my fellow moms on a mission this Friday at the @Moms4Liberty’s Joyful Warriors summit,” Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina and current presidential candidate, wrote on Twitter this week. “Nothing will stop us from using the power of our voices to shake up Washington!”The group draws power from its diffusion — 275 chapters in 45 states with nearly 115,000 members, it claims — and the social issues that animate it.
Conservatives who flocked to school board meetings in places like Carmel and Franklin, Tennessee, either on their own or under the auspices of local groups like Unify Carmel, soon formed chapters of Moms for Liberty, whose funding sources remain mysterious but seemingly plentiful. As the pandemic receded, issues of race, gender and sexuality rose to the fore among these parents, just as they did in the Republican Party.
Justice pushed back on that hard, denying any violent intent from her group and accusing opponents of trying to silence conservatives.
