Stand as a Witness - Ep 05
In this powerful episode, Sarah Garriott—wife, mother of three, and fourth-generation Washingtonian—shares her unexpected journey from quiet citizen to outspoken advocate for parental rights and a quality education for all children. Raised in Yakima, educated around the world, and rooted in a life of service and family, Sarah recounts the pivotal moment that propelled her into activism: watching the late-night debate over Washington State’s Comprehensive Sexuality Education bill.
Sarah discusses founding the Pierce County chapter of Moms for Liberty, navigating intense public scrutiny, political labeling, and media censorship. She reflects on the challenges of speaking out as a conservative in a predominantly progressive state and how that experience reshaped her perspective on courage, community, and calling.
Sarah highlights the importance of showing up, building grassroots coalitions, and preserving the rights of parents and children against what she sees as ideological overreach in schools. With honesty, grace, and resilience, she offers hope and a rallying cry to those who feel silenced, reminding listeners that lasting change starts with ordinary people who refuse to quit.
Whether you agree or disagree with her views, Sarah’s story is a compelling example of conviction in action—and a testament to the impact one voice can have when it refuses to stay silent.
