Tiffany Justice is an anti-trans activist in Indian River County, Florida. She is primarily known as one of three co-founders of Moms for Liberty, an anti-government extreme activist group that seeks to abolish the Department of Education and weaken the ability of public schools to provide education on inequality and LGBTQ+ matters. Justice, once a member of the Indian River County school board, has gone on to assist Moms for Liberty in backing far-right school board candidates across the country.

Moms for Liberty
Justice, alongside co-founders Bridget Ziegler and Tina Descovich, founded the initial chapter of Moms for Liberty in early 2021, following Descovich’s loss in the 2020 Brevard County school board election. The group’s earliest work included petitions against schools with mask mandates, beginning a cycle of disrupting school board meetings and harassing teachers under the conservative dog whistle of “parental rights.”
In 2023, Justice testified before the Constitution and Limited Government Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, in which she stated “The FBI was used as a weapon against parents who dared to voice opposition at their most local level — their school boards.” Justice was likely referring to the disruptive behavior and threats of violence made towards school board members across the country, prompting an FBI investigation against those who made the threats.
Justice has been at the forefront of many of the group’s most public anti-LGBTQ+ statements. After Moms for Liberty were suspended from Twitter over a tweet that implied children were being groomed by LGBTQ+ people, Justice defended the group’s message, asking “If my child wants to be the opposite sex, should I mutilate them?” When pressured about the group’s book banning campaign, Justice equated LGBTQ+ reading materials to books containing incest, pedophilia, and rape.
Acting as co-founder, Justice has made a number of appearances on Fox News, usually in the wake of a wave of controversy caused by the organization. She has also written for the Daily Signal, an alt-right news outlet run by the The Heritage Foundation.
