On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the organizations and dark money behind the Republican Party's "pro-parent" rebrand.
According to True North Research, many parent groups opposing masks and critical race theory are driven by dark money. Dark money is also driving "concerned moms" attacking anti-racism classes in schools. Koch-funded groups are backing anti-abortion groups that call themselves the Independent Women’s Forum and Independent Women’s Voice. Why isn't this getting more attention?
