Moms for Liberty is described in the current repository as a Florida-founded conservative school-politics organization built around parental-rights branding, chapter-based mobilization, and public-school grievance campaigns. Current official pages reviewed on 2026-04-19 self-identify it as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit, list Tina Descovich as CEO and co-founder, and claim more than 300 chapters in 48 states with more than 130,000 members. ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer records now directly resolve Moms For Liberty Inc as EIN 85-4331724, subsection code 4, and Moms For Liberty Foundation as EIN 87-3980061, subsection code 3.
The broader source set still ties parts of the Moms for Liberty ecosystem to book-removal infrastructure, Christian homeschooling parental-rights actors, and dominionist or Seven Mountains-inflected education politics. The Colorado slice shows that some district-policy work attributed to the brand may have depended heavily on local organizer initiative.
A bounded 2026-04-25 LittleSis-assisted follow-up narrowed one Colorado chapter-structure gap. LittleSis resolved both a national Moms for Liberty, Inc. record and a separate Moms for Liberty - El Paso County Chapter record, and the LittleSis document metadata led to the official El Paso County chapter portal. The official chapter page, captured directly, listed Kristy Davis as Chapter Chair, Jennifer Bertram as Vice Chair, and Jim Robertson as Treasurer.
In this repository, Moms for Liberty matters less as a generic culture-war label than as an organizational vehicle recurring across school-board fights, library disputes, public-health backlash, and Colorado education politics. The current evidence is strongest for reported origin, organizational self-description, public nonprofit records, tactics, and local organizing lanes. It is still weaker on donor identity, internal governance, formal chapter-control mechanics, and every ideological or networked claim that critics attach to it. The newer Colorado reporting also suggests that some policy drafting and district-resolution work in El Paso County was locally driven rather than cleanly structured by the national organization.
- Role or function: chapter-based school-politics and parental-rights organization
- Scope: national organization with local chapter or organizer activity reflected in the current corpus
- Repeated activity types: school-board mobilization, book challenges, parental-rights messaging, and education grievance campaigns
- Direct public-record layer: ProPublica resolves a national 501(c)(4),
Moms For Liberty Inc, and a separate 501(c)(3), Moms For Liberty Foundation
- Current official self-description: official pages reviewed on
2026-04-19 claim more than 300 chapters, 48 states, and more than 130,000 members
- Important context: current reporting also places parts of the Moms for Liberty ecosystem alongside Michael Farris-linked parental-rights networks, Leadership Institute training, and dominionist education rhetoric
- D11-specific current-page layer: a
2026-04-22 capture of the Moms for Liberty pledged-candidates page lists Jason Jorgenson and Jill Haffley under Colorado, while preserving the page's statement that signing the pledge is not a Moms for Liberty endorsement
- El Paso County chapter layer: a
2026-04-25 capture of the official Moms for Liberty portal page identifies the El Paso County, Colorado chapter and lists current page leadership as Kristy Davis, Jennifer Bertram, and Jim Robertson
- Jason Jorgenson and Jill Haffley / D11: direct current-page evidence lists both on Moms for Liberty's pledged-candidates page under Colorado. Relationship type: advocacy affiliation / pledge listing. Claim limit: the page says pledge signing is not an endorsement by Moms for Liberty, its chapters, PAC, or affiliates, and the listing is not itself proof of charter, voucher, or campaign-finance coordination.
Founders Tiffany Justice and Tina Descovich: supported in the CNN origin profile and current official-site history.Moms For Liberty Inc: directly resolved in ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer as EIN 85-4331724, subsection code 4.Moms For Liberty Foundation: directly resolved in ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer as EIN 87-3980061, subsection code 3; current official navigation links to the foundation, but governance mechanics still require direct filing or official-page review beyond this pass.Chapter model: the current official start-a-chapter page describes chapters as local school-board watchdogs and requires Executive Board approval before use of the name or logo.Book-removal and library-pressure work: supported in the Media Matters reporting layer.Florida origin and 2022 Republican proximity: supported in the Miami Herald and CNN reporting layers, with July 2022 Florida-summit context and DeSantis-adjacent public events.Michael Farris / ParentalRights.org: present in the current repo through reported collaboration and rhetorical overlap, but not yet as a fully documented formal alliance record.Leadership Institute: present in current reporting about shared training or programming, but not yet supported in the repo by a direct institutional partnership page.- Darcy Schoening: provides a Colorado-local organizer lane through Monument and school-politics activity.
- Truth & Liberty: the current repo supports contextual Colorado overlap and one reporting-based collaboration claim, but still not a fully documented formal institutional partnership record.
- Colorado district-policy resolutions: the newer CTR reporting preserves claims by Darcy Schoening that HB1003 opt-out and COVID-resolution work in the El Paso school-politics slice were her own policy efforts more than a centrally supported national Moms for Liberty program.
- El Paso County chapter presentation: LittleSis surfaced a local chapter record and official portal URL; the directly captured portal page is the source used here for chapter leadership presentation. LittleSis relationship rows for the local chapter remain discovery leads and should not be inflated into governance, control, funding, coordination, or influence claims.

- The repo now has direct ProPublica public-record resolution for the national 501(c)(4) and foundation 501(c)(3), but it still lacks downloaded and reviewed IRS filing PDFs, donor-identification records, and governance-detail extraction.
- The exact formal relationship, if any, among Moms for Liberty, ParentalRights.org, Leadership Institute, and Truth and Liberty still rests mostly on reporting and promotional references rather than primary institutional documentation in the repo.
- The Colorado layer is strong enough for theme-level integration, but not yet for a full statewide chapter map, formal chapter-governance model, or a broader organization web around every adjacent activist.
- The El Paso County chapter page narrows the prior
Christy Davis / local-chapter question, but the page itself spells the chair's name Kristy Davis; treat other spellings as unresolved unless backed by a separate source.
- The ProPublica search surfaced
Moms For Liberty Dorchester County as a local 501(c)(4) record; this is a chapter-structure lead only and should not be generalized without a separate chapter-filing pass.
