The first organizational meeting of Moms for Liberty will meet Feb. 13 in Anchorage.
It’s the second chapter in Alaska for the organization that works to protect parental rights when it comes to children attending public schools, and to keep government in its place.
“Moms for Liberty welcomes all that have a desire to stand up for parental rights at all levels of government,” the group says on its website.
The Anchorage chapter has officially been recognized by the national organization, which is headquartered in Florida.
“Our founders are Tiffany and Tina, moms on a mission to stoke the fires of liberty. As former school board members, they witnessed how short-sighted and destructive policies directly hurt children and families. Now they are using their first-hand knowledge and experience to unite parents who are ready to fight those that stand in the way of liberty,” the organization says.
Some have doubted whether the quickly growing group, which has developed a large following, could sustain its strength after the news media labeled some in the organization as taking part in extra-marital affairs. The New York Times calls Moms for Liberty a “right-wing advocacy group … born in Florida as a response to Covid-19 school closures and mask mandates.” Other news media has been disparaging of the group, eager to point out its human failings.
