Moms for Liberty establishes Pitt County chapter to advocate for parental rights

During the Pitt County Schools Board meeting on April 7, 2025, community engagement took center stage as Julie Anderson, chair of the newly established Moms for Liberty chapter in the area, addressed the board and attendees. Anderson emphasized the group's commitment to advocating for parental rights and enhancing children's education, highlighting their role as a watchdog for educational policies within the district.

Moms for Liberty, now the 21st chapter in North Carolina, aims to empower parents and guardians by amplifying their voices and addressing concerns related to curriculum and educational content. Anderson noted that the organization seeks to create a supportive environment for parents who may feel marginalized or unheard in discussions about their children's education.

The group’s mission is rooted in the belief that parents should have a significant role in educational decisions, advocating for limited government involvement and personal responsibility. Anderson encouraged community members to join their efforts, stating that the organization is dedicated to holding elected officials accountable and preserving foundational principles of liberty.

In addition to their advocacy work, Anderson announced the launch of a new website for the Pitt County chapter, aimed at providing resources and information to parents and community members interested in engaging with educational policies.

The meeting underscored the importance of community involvement in local education, as parents and guardians increasingly seek to influence the direction of their children's schooling. As the Pitt County Schools Board continues to navigate educational challenges, the voices of organizations like Moms for Liberty will likely play a crucial role in shaping discussions around curriculum and parental engagement.
