Huntsville Sees Protests as Marjorie Taylor Greene Speaks at Fundraiser

Huntsville, AL – On June 28, 2025, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene made a controversial appearance at the annual Moms for Liberty fundraiser, which attracted significant protests from groups opposing her presence. Protesters expressed their discontent outside the event, making it clear that they viewed Greene as unwelcome in the community.

The protest was organized by a group called 50501, who described their demonstration as part of a “weekend of resistance and community building.” The timing aligned with the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising, a pivotal event in LGBTQ+ rights history, further emphasizing the ongoing tensions regarding social issues.

Event Details and Attendance

Moms for Liberty reported that the fundraiser event was sold out, indicating a high level of interest and support for Greene among some factions in the community. Organizers acknowledged Greene’s controversial reputation yet argued that her involvement would elevate their mission to a national platform. The chairwoman of Moms for Liberty’s Madison County chapter described the necessity of addressing parental rights and child protection, framing Greene’s participation as pivotal to these discussions.

Despite the protests outside, those attending the fundraiser did not report disturbances. Greene’s speech included a broad array of topics, touching on issues such as the January 6 insurrection, transgender rights, and her criticism of government policies, illegal immigration, and what she termed cultural corruption.

Protests and Police Presence

As Greene spoke at the fundraiser, protesters assembled outside the venue at Campus 805, chanting slogans and displaying signs while voicing their opposition to her views and policies. The event was met with a substantial police presence intended to maintain order and ensure safety. Reports indicated that prior to the event, the Brewers Cooperative venue received attention for having been vandalized with graffiti denouncing Greene, which was subsequently covered up.

Alabama GOP Chair criticized the vandalism, labeling it politically motivated intimidation. The Huntsville Police Department confirmed they were investigating the graffiti incident, seeking to understand the full context of the protests surrounding Greene’s visit.

Counter Efforts and Community Response

In response to Greene’s appearance, LGBTQ+-affirming groups organized a “Marjorie Taylor Queens Book Drive”, aiming to collect books for a local resource library. This initiative was seen as a counteraction to Moms for Liberty’s perceived agenda regarding censorship of library materials that address LGBTQ+ themes.

Protests persisted until law enforcement informed demonstrators that they were on private property, prompting a return to Campus 805. This incident illustrates the deep divisions within the community regarding Greene’s political stance and the issues she advocates.

Background Context

Marjorie Taylor Greene has garnered significant attention for her polarizing viewpoints. She emerged as a vocal critic of various liberal policies, often positioning herself as a staunch defender of conservative values. Greene has often described her political journey as beginning with grassroots activism against what she terms inappropriate materials in public spaces, particularly concerning children.

Amid the escalating cultural tensions, her outreach and rhetoric continue to rouse strong sentiments from both supporters and detractors. The Moms for Liberty organization has similarly faced criticism and support as it champions parental rights and educational reform, generating a complex narrative in the ongoing discourse surrounding family and community values in the United States.
