Massive protests planned across Philadelphia in opposition to the Moms4Liberty summit largely failed to live up to the hype Friday, with crowds thinning out before the end of Day Two.
Several organizations, including ACT UP Philadelphia, Defense of Democracy, National Parents Union, and the Young Communist League, scheduled rallies and"dance party protests" in front of the downtown Marriott Hotel where the conservative mother group is holding its four-day conference. The organizations have handed out banned books, blared music, and heckled conference attendees.
Protesters hurled insults not only at his motorcade but also at some of the Philadelphia police officers tasked with keeping the peace. Moms for Liberty has had a rapid and controversial rise since its inception less than three years ago. The group describes itself as staunch supporters of parental rights, but critics claim they have a destructive agenda that's causing irreparable harm to the LGBT community.
The founders of Moms for Liberty are also all current or former school board members in Florida who were opposed to student mask and quarantine policies during the COVID-19 pandemic. In two years, the women have turned their nonprofit organization into one of the most powerful groups that cater to conservative policies. It has more than 120,000 active members in 285 chapters across 45 states. Their largest chapter is in Florida and their second largest in Pennsylvania.
