'Another one bites the dust': 200-member Moms for Liberty chapter collapses
A prominent Moms for Liberty chapter in Pennsylvania that once numbered 200 members has collapsed due to a lack of interest after having dwindled down to just three participants.
According to a report from the Daily Beast's Michael Daly, the last three members of the Lehigh County chapter recently met at a local diner and decided to call it quits when none of the three volunteered to take charge and keep the right-wing moms' group alive.
In an interview, local chapter founder Janine Vicalvi admitted it took too much time and there was too little interest to make it worthwhile, explaining, "Between homeschooling and working two jobs, it’s just a lot. And I guess there wasn’t as much willingness to do the work that’s required to propel the movement forward.”

Following the recent diner get-together, she posted a message on her chapter's Facebook page, stating, "So we had our meeting this evening and are going to dissolve our chapter.”
The dissolution of the Pennsylvania chapter is yet another blow to the national organization that has been labeled by the Southern Poverty Law Center as "a far-right organization that engages in anti-student inclusion activities and self-identifies as part of the modern parental rights movement."
According to a recent New York Times report, a recent school board meeting in Florida where the banning of another book was to be discussed — a central mission of the organization that has made school board meetings a living hell — drew only one Moms for Liberty member.

In analyzing the group's demise Pennsylvania's Vicalvi said that "I think that most successful political movements are one-issue movements. And unfortunately, parental rights is kind of amorphous. Everyone has a different idea of what parental rights looks like."
Not everyone took the news as unfortunate, however.
Brevard County, Florida school board member Jennifer Jenkins — a frequent target of Moms for Liberty — celebrated the group's demise on Facebook by posting, "Another one bites the dust."
