People For's Grandparents For Truth Campaign joined forces with LGBTQ advocates in New York City to protest an event hosted by Far-Right organization Moms for Liberty that seeks to ban books that represent diverse perspectives.

Alana Byrd, an activist and national field director for the organization Grandparents for Truth, said it was important for New Yorkers to make a public stand against Moms for Liberty.
“If we weren’t here all these people would just come in and think that they represented the majority of New Yorkers, and they absolutely do not,” they said. “We’re out here letting them know that they’re not welcome here. Hate is not welcome here, this is a place for love.”
