WASHINGTON—Tiffany Justice, founder of the parental rights nonprofit group Moms for Liberty, has joined The Heritage Foundation as a visiting fellow in parental rights.   

As a visiting fellow, Justice will spearhead the new Parental Rights Initiative at Heritage, which is working to dismantle the barriers that radical ideologues have erected between parents and their children and restore parents’ rightful authority to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children. 

In this role, Justice will take the effective state-focused strategy she used at Moms for Liberty and make it national. Under Justice’s leadership, Heritage’s Parental Rights Initiative will focus on: 

• Ending policies and practices that undermine the parent-child bond, particularly those funded by American taxpayers. 
• Developing a comprehensive strategy using legal, legislative, and grassroots efforts to reclaim parental authority. 
• Bringing together the best and most effective parents’ rights advocates and organizations to create more momentum for their work. 
• Empowering parents with the tools, resources, and success stories to reclaim control in their communities. 

A wife and mom of four school-aged children, Justice stepped up in 2016 to serve on the board for the School District of Indian River County, Florida. In 2021, she co-founded Moms for Liberty, a parental rights group in Florida that has since grown to more than 130,000 members and 300 chapters nationwide.  

Justice made the following statement: 

“Being a part of Moms for Liberty has been the honor of my life. The movement we started in Moms for Liberty four years ago will be championed by President Donald Trump over the next four years.

“Partnering with Heritage on parental rights allows me to elevate the parental rights push beyond K-12 public schools. Parental rights are a fundamental part of American life. All research agrees that when parents are involved, child outcomes improve across every category. 

“We have the attention of the President and Congress. This is our best chance to make parental rights in America lasting and permanent.” 

Heritage Foundation Dr. Kevin Roberts stated:  

"I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Tiffany Justice to The Heritage Foundation. Tiffany has been a tireless champion for American parents, boldly leading the fight to restore families’ rightful place at the center of decisions about their children’s education and future. 

“The days of sidelining parental rights are over. With Tiffany at the helm of Heritage’s Parental Rights Initiative, we will strengthen the sacred bond between parent and child and defend it against those who would seek to undermine or exploit it.” 

Andrew Olivastro, Chief Advancement Officer at Heritage, added the following statement: 

“Inserting yourself between a parent and their child is more than outrageous—it’s radical and predatory. Tiffany isn’t just joining our team—she’s leading a crusade to obliterate this interference. Our message to those who dare undermine parental rights is clear: ‘Our kids, our call.’ 

“Tiffany is the catalyst for a parental rights revolution. Her leadership will galvanize families to push back against the overreach that has plagued schools and institutions for too long. It’s time to restore parents’ rightful place in their children’s lives and to end the predatory policies that have eroded trust.”
