‘Extremist’ Moms for Liberty group hit with IRS complaint investigating nonprofit status: report – By Maya Boddie (Alternet) / July 29, 2023
Right-wing group Moms for Liberty was recently hit with an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) complaint probing “whether Moms for Liberty is a political educational organization,” The Guardian reports.
Per The Guardian, the eight-page complaint filed against the “extremist” group by a Michigan attorney “alleges that the rightwing organization is in violation of its 501(c)4 non-profit status,” and also questions “if Moms for Liberty is an action organization, raising questions about its participation in political campaigns and active recruitment of school board candidates.”
University of Pittsburgh Associate Professor of Law Phillip Hackney told the news outlet he doesn’t believe the complaint will go far, but “said he does think the complaint is correct in bringing up the group’s intervention in political campaigns.”
