On Tuesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released its annual report, labeling the right-wing organization Moms for Liberty (M4L) as an “anti-government extremist group.” The organization, which was initially formed to fight COVID mask mandates and school programs that promote diversity, has since evolved into an “anti-student inclusion movement” that actively opposes inclusive curricula on topics such as race and gender, according to the report.
M4L was founded by some Florida women who had concerns over COVID safety measures in schools. On Wednesday, the group’s co-founder, Tiffany Justice, announced that an unnamed donor had offered to match contributions up to $300,000.
In response to the SPLC’s report, M4L’s other co-founder, Tina Descovich, declared on a broadcast that people should “stick it to Southern Poverty Law Center and donate to us.” Descovich added, “Show that we don’t care what they think.”
The SPLC’s report has sparked a strong reaction from M4L supporters. Many have expressed their outrage at the label of “extremist group” and have called for donations to the organization in order to show their support.
M4L has become a controversial organization due to its stance on issues such as COVID safety measures and student inclusion. Despite the SPLC’s labeling of the group as an “anti-government extremist group,” M4L continues to fight for its cause and has received strong support from its members. It remains to be seen how the organization will respond to the SPLC’s report and how it will continue to fight for its cause.
