Moms for Liberty is a conservative grassroots organization advocating for parental rights in education. It has become influential in the 2024 Republican presidential race. Founded in 2020, the group has rapidly expanded and now has chapters in all 50 states. Their focus has been on addressing books that mention race and gender identity and supporting right-wing candidates for local school boards.
Republican presidential candidates are keen to attract Moms for Liberty members due to their growing influence. Notable figures such as former President Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will be speaking at the group’s annual summit in Philadelphia this month.
Reactions to Moms for Liberty’s rise have been mixed. Some see it as a positive force defending parental rights in education, while others perceive it as a threat to academic freedom and diversity in schools.
The impact of Moms for Liberty on the 2024 election remains uncertain. However, their increasing influence suggests that the Republican Party is increasingly prioritizing a culture war agenda.
Here are some of the key issues that Moms for Liberty has been involved in:
- Banning books that reference race and gender identity.
- Opposing critical race theory.
- Elevating parental rights in education.
- Electing right-wing candidates to local school boards.
