Huntsville Hosts Moms for Liberty Fundraiser Featuring Marjorie Taylor Greene
Huntsville, Alabama—Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican Congressman from Georgia, headlined the Moms for Liberty Madison County chapter’s second annual fundraiser dinner on June 28, 2025. The event took place at Brewers Cooperative at Stovehouse and was sold out, reflecting a strong interest from the community, as noted by Chapter Chair Emily Jones.
The high attendance at this event underscores a desire among local residents for strong leadership and open discussions on family values, education, and governance. Greene, who has been a prominent supporter of the Moms for Liberty organization, is known for advocating for parents’ rights and opposing what she describes as indoctrination in education.
Controversial Guest Amid Protests
Greene represents Georgia’s 14th congressional district, recognized as the state’s most conservative area. While her advocacy for the shared values of faith and family resonates with many, she has faced criticism for endorsing controversial views, including calls for violence against political opponents and sharing misinformation about health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to Greene’s appearance, multiple opposing events were organized. A counter-protest titled “MTG is not welcome in HSV” was initiated by local group Huntsville 50501, while “Marjorie Taylor Queens Book Drive,” led by another local organization called Rainbow Trouble, coincided with Greene’s event. The latter featured community activities centered around LGBTQ+ themes and focused on the importance of access to diverse literature.
Security Concerns Arise
As a precautionary measure, local law enforcement presence was heightened around the event due to anticipated protests. Investigations are ongoing regarding graffiti found outside the venue that included threatening messages directed at Greene and the Moms for Liberty organization. Alabama GOP Chair John Wahl characterized these threats as acts of political terrorism.
Inside the event, Greene acknowledged the protests happening outside, labeling the demonstrators as “communists.” She spoke on significant political topics such as election integrity and education policy. The event served as a dual demonstration of democracy, with both supporters and opponents having the opportunity to express their viewpoints simultaneously.
Background on Moms for Liberty and Local Issues
The Moms for Liberty organization, founded in 2020, aims to advocate for parents’ rights in educational settings. The local chapter in Huntsville has been involved in recent debates concerning book acquisition policies at the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library, generating tension between community factions. The group emphasizes the importance of parental control over educational content and has rallied against materials they perceive as inappropriate.
The events surrounding Greene’s visit illustrate the deep divides within the community regarding educational policies and the role of government in family life. As the organization and its supporters continue to campaign for change, the contrasting opinions and protests demonstrate the ongoing discourse over these hot-button issues.
Greene’s appearance and the events leading up to it highlight a larger national debate on parental rights in education, the influence of political ideologies, and the implications for community engagement in democratic processes.
