    SPLC’s description of Moms for Liberty.

    Read the “In Their Own Words” section to get an idea of the way they think.

    Unfortunately, the article here isn’t enough: it briefly mentions one of the members citing Hitler and banning books, but this really isn’t an introductory article to the group.

        Although ticket prices for the fundraisers ranged from $50 to $20,000 and the highest sponsorship package of the sold-out summit was $50,000, when asked about how the organization is funded, the group claimed that t-shirt sales were its “biggest source of funding.”

        Well-funded ones!
