Moms for Liberty

Hello,

We had a great crowd at the last school board meeting. Having supporters in the audience makes a big difference. Please come to support those who will be speaking Tuesday, August 6. And if you have not seen it yet, watch Cheryll Caulfield's opening remarks.

Also, save the date for our chapter meeting with WCPSS School Board Candidates on August 14. Bring school supplies and hear from the candidates.

Lastly, Julie and I will be going to Moms for Liberty National Summit soon. Summit offers training and resources that we bring back to the chapter. If you can donate to help defray our travel costs, we would greatly appreciate it. You can donate via CashApp ( $M4LWakeNC) or via our Donation Link for the chapter. Just put a note that this is for Summit Expenses.

WCPSS Board Meeting Tuesday, August 6th

Thank you to everyone who attended the July 16th WCPSS board meeting. Your presence makes a huge difference. Let’s keep the momentum going.

We must continue to hold the WCPSS board accountable. There is still a lot to say about WCPSS passage of Title IX changes via policies 1710/4021/7230 and 1720/4015/7225 at the July 16th meeting. These policies were approved at the board meeting but have not been added to the online policy manual.

The next work session and board meeting will be Tuesday, August 6 and the next one will be August 20.
