I wasn't sure whether to post this here or in politics, but this group assembled in just 30 months and they look set to influence the GOP primaries. It's very much a product of the USA (anti-woke and anti-masking, etc), but it also shows what happens when a bunch of motivated, pissed-off women started organizing properly.

Whilst I don't agree with many of their aims, what I find interesting were the same tactics and insults being used to shut them down, as we see over here - GCs get reported for hate crimes, they got reported for domestic terrorism.

Who’s Afraid of Moms for Liberty?

A growing cadre of angry mothers is taking over school boards and winning influence as GOP kingmakers. Why are they being called a ‘hate group’?

They want to ban Anne Frank's Diary because it's 'sexually explicit' apparently though they dabble in Holocaust denial too so I doubt that's the only reason. They are a pernicious bunch of extremists.

Can't you find a single other organisation which you think has effective organisation skills to learn from? What made you even look at these horrible people?

The SPLC has lost its way, just like the ACLU.

Quote from the article by Moms for Liberty:
Gender dysphoria is a mental health disorder that is being normalized by predators across the USA. California kids are at extreme risk from predatory adults. Now they want to ‘liberate’ children all over the country. Does a double mastectomy on a preteen sound like progress?

I'm in the US. I want nothing to do with these people. They are vile.

But I do agree that we should look at their methods/strategy for raising issues.

I think the Guardian ran a scornful article on them a few days ago.
