Countering the right wing school culture war

In 2022, the hate group Moms for Liberty endorsed 275 winning school board candidates nationwide – and they’re just getting started.Funded by millions of dollars in right-wing dark money, Moms for Liberty is targeting thousands of school board seats. Right-wing hate groups are already banning books, terrorizing LGBTQ+ students, and censoring history classes.

A small progressive group fighting back in California seems worth supporting; it’s called The Six Pac (for its focus in 2022 on six potentially winnable races in the state). It’s at https://www.thesixpac.com/

Nationally, Indivisible is kicking off a campaign to counter Moms For Liberty and other reactionary groups who have been targeting school board races. It’s called Our States, Our Fates and will formally launch with a zoom presentation July 20 at 5 pm PST. The session will “talk about how we can not only be effective as individual groups in school boards, but how we can fight back against reactionary and harmful policies at the school board level.” A sign-up link is here.
