šØWEEKLYšš¼SOCALšš¼UPDATEšØ4
This week, we delve into the ripple effects of CNP member Karen England’s influence on SoCal, revisit the growing threat of fascist mom groups organizing in your backyard, and end with some good news for transgender students!
Letās go! š£/1
Book Banning is hitting SoCal with a bang, and book banner Karen England is following a CNP playbook, initiated way back in 2017 āto restore education in accordance with historic Judeo-Christian principlesā
This includes censorship via book bans, and England has it dialed inā¦/2 
CNP Karen runs Capital Resource Institute, Kitchen Table Activist (a cheeky moniker designed to appear grassroots), and Take Back The Classroom, where u can find a step by step guide to book banning. /3 
Researchers are tracking Englandās book banning campaign throughout SoCal, starting in Chino Valley USD via board President Sonja Shaw. /4

England was a fixture in the crowd at many of the Chino Valley board meetings, however her influence doesnāt stop at school boards. /5
England’s extreme book banning fever is spreading to public libraries as well, and there are clues that the book banners stirring trouble at public libraries are Karen’s soldiers.

At the last Huntington Beach City Council meeting, book banners set up tables with books that were obviously pulled from
āTake Back The Classroomā.
But thereās moreā¦/7
England’s book banning fever is being replicated as a “program” in local authoritarian moms groups like “Moms for America.ā /8
@MFA_VC chapter leader Joelle Mancuso was spotting attending a Karen England webinar late last year, faithfully fulfilling her role to disrupt public education.
But now she has new and old friends to help her. Want to meet them? /9
The new M4A Ventura County are featured here. Are they are aware of the umbrella group (CNP) they are now part of?
Moms for America operates as a double agent for the Council for National Policy, w/ Karen England and M4A founder Kimberly Fletcher as influential members. /10 
In other āMoms for Fascismā news, Moms for Liberty in LA county is apparently growingā¦ Meet David Bolog!
Bolog is an extremist groupie and is seen everywhere LOKA goes. He also campaigns for Patrick Lee Gipson, another LOKA groupie running for State Assembly. /11 
New Moms for Liberty LA members are conglomerating from the well known extremists and Christo-fascist that haunt school board and city council meetings throughout SoCal, and should be watched closely. /12
With millions of dollars behind their cause to destroy public education and influence elections, the combination of local extremist agitators and Moms for Liberty could spell disaster this election season.
But, alas! I promised good newsā¦./13
Last Wednesday, a new bill was announced in CA to tackle the āforced outing policyā for good.
Called AB-1955, the Safety Act strengthens California law prohibiting school districts from adopting policies requiring school staff to out LGBTQ+ students without their permission./14
By targeting transgender and nonbinary youth, forced outing policies violate state & federal anti-discrimination and privacy laws.#SAFETYAct strengthens existing protections to ensure that all California students are safe & treated fairly in school.

Meanwhile, there is even more good news! /17
In other good news, the “Appeal to Heaven” flag and its connection to right-wing extremism made headlines this week after being spotted at Supreme Court Justice Alitoās home. This flag is commonly seen at many extremist rallies in Southern California. /18
And finally a small sliver of justice was delivered by #UCLA PD when pro-Israeli attacker Edan On was arrested this week. With numerous attackers identified, we await to see if they will all receive the same justice. /19
