"Moms for Liberty Summit Draws Trump, DeSantis, and GOP Heavyweights Amid Protests"

Former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are scheduled to speak at the annual gathering of Moms for Liberty, a conservative group that opposes instruction related to race and gender identity in classrooms. The group has been labeled "extremist" for allegedly promoting anti-LGBTQ+ misinformation and fighting against diverse and inclusive material in lesson plans. The event highlights the group's growing influence and its close alliance with DeSantis, who has signed bills supported by Moms for Liberty. LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations and activists have protested the conference, citing concerns about erasing LGBTQ+ and Black voices from history.
