We need to talk.
In 2002, affluent suburban white women were pegged by The Heritage Foundation as the most potent warriors for a "Christian" Nationalist takeover. Citizens for Renewing America handed them a playbook with steps to fight against conspiracies like the Great Replacement Theory. Over the past few years, we've observed the resulting rise and destructive impact of Project 2025 and Moms for Liberty on our schools and communities.
We're now fighting to protect education, civil rights, and the freedoms promised to citizens of our Democratic Republic. This hostile government takeover has been underway for more than 60 years, and it was made possible by public manipulation and disinformation.
Directly affected by these playbooks, astroturf groups, and manufactured crises, I'm here to expose their harm. I'm a public school parent turned accidental activist, proving that affluent suburban white women can also call B.S. It's as easy as elevating the context and facts.
My writing aims to bring a critical voice to the racism, bigotry, and sexism affecting us and our marginalized neighbors. We will not go quietly.
