In her promotional materials, Donnelly casts the event at the Capitol as an opportunity for women to stand their ground and play a pivotal role in changing the cultural and political trajectory of the US.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Although Donnelly will headline the prayerful demonstration, the event is a collaboration organized by multiple far-right Christian leaders affiliated with the New Apostolic Reformation \u2013 a movement on the Christian right that seeks to establish Christian dominion over government and society in the long term \u2013 and get Trump elected in the nearer future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Matthew Taylor, a senior scholar at the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies, said the effort is aimed at \u201ccreating a network \u2013 a mass of people \u2013 who see it as their spiritual mission to take over Washington DC\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Most prominent in the push to turn out women to the National Mall is Lou Engle, a rightwing pastor and staunch opponent of LGBTQ+ rights and abortion, whose tutelage of anti-gay Ugandan pastors and coordination of mass prayer mobilizations has earned him international notoriety and celebrity.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Southern Poverty Law Center, which characterizes Engle as an anti-LGBTQ+ extremist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splcenter.org\/fighting-hate\/extremist-files\/individual\/lou-engle\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">notes<\/a> that Engle has in the past compared the anti-LGBTQ+ push to the secessionist south during the American civil war, calling on opponents of gay rights to emulate confederate general Robert E Lee, who \u201cwas able to restrain Washington\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Donnelly\u2019s vision \u2013 of a crowd of moms descending on the Capitol in pink and blue \u2013 is her own. Engle, whose mass prayer rallies have drawn hundreds of thousands to DC in the past, offers a platform to turn people out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWe are seeing a million women and their families coming together to see this great country turn their hearts back to God,\u201d said Donnelly, on a 21 June podcast promoting the march. Donnelly, who lives in Portland, Oregon, with her family, described how during the Covid-19 lockdowns and Black Lives Matter protests \u2013 twin forces she says shut down her church \u2013 she was called by God to go deeper into the political realm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI said: \u2018Lord, I\u2019m just a mom of five, I have a great church \u2013 it\u2019s not huge. I\u2019ve done women\u2019s retreats, I think I\u2019ve been doing my part in the kingdom and I love Jesus so much, but I don\u2019t even know where to begin, but would you put me in the fight?\u2019\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Donnelly has sought to pass along that message to other Christian women through an organization called Her Voice Movement Action, which organizes women into decentralized, independently-run \u201cprayer hubs\u201d \u2013 a source of spiritual community for women that also functions as a political mobilization tool.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The decentralized organizing model carries echoes of Donnelly\u2019s previous life: before reinventing herself as a leader in the New Apostolic Reformation, Donnelly earned millions through the multilevel marketing company AdvoCare, which collapsed after settling with the Federal Trade Commission for $150m in a lawsuit alleging the company was an illegal pyramid scheme.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"from-peru-to-portland\" class=\"dcr-12ibh7f\">From Peru to Portland<\/h2>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Years before Donnelly flew the #DontMessWithOurKids flag, a movement under the same name took hold in Peru, promoted by Christian Rosas, a conservative Christian political strategist and consultant in the mining industry. The evangelical \u201cNo te metas con mis hijos\u201d \u2013 \u201cdon\u2019t mess with our kids\u201d \u2013 coalition, which opposed LGBTQ+ inclusion and abortion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/school-books-with-section-on-gender-equality-cause-uproar-in-peru\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">earned followers<\/a> in 2016 during a wave of conservative backlash against governmental efforts to introduce themes of gender equality and LGBTQ+ inclusion in the school system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">When the government issued lockdown orders to slow the spread of Covid-19, it issued travel restrictions by gender, allowing women and men to leave the house on different days of the week and affirming that trans people\u2019s gender identities would be respected in enforcing the rule. Rosas took issue with the trans-inclusive policy, claiming that police officers were obligated to enforce the rule based on travelers\u2019 identification cards, not their gender identities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">During the lockdown orders, the Peruvian investigative reporting outlet <a href=\"https:\/\/ojo-publico.com\/1864\/poder-evangelico-y-diezmos-contra-la-igualdad-peru\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">OjoP\u00fablico reported on<\/a> 18 incidents of humiliating and abusive arrests of trans women by the police.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">What started as street protests has turned into an electoral strategy to elect ultraconservative allies of the Christian right into office in Peru. These lawmakers have passed a slew of socially conservative laws, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/americas\/peru-protesters-slam-new-insurance-law-that-deems-transgender-people-mentally-2024-05-18\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">including one this year<\/a> that classifies transgender identities as mental illnesses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Donnelly has taken up the mantle of this movement among Christian moms in the US, drawing directly from Rosas\u2019s vision in Peru and consulting him on strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cWe challenged the law, why? Because the law was unjust. We challenged the curriculum. Why? Because the curriculum was unjust,\u201d said Rosas on a podcast interview with Donnelly on 6 November 2023. \u201cTV, news [outlets], they mocked us every day, they mocked us, they ridiculed us, saying: \u2018Look at them, they\u2019re radical, religious, whatever,\u2019 but they saw that we are not retreating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Don\u2019t Mess With Our Kids and No te metas con mis hijos have both attempted to cast their organizations as grassroots mobilizations. In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/school-books-with-section-on-gender-equality-cause-uproar-in-peru\/\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">2017 interview<\/a> with Vice News, a spokesperson for the group spoke on the condition of anonymity, claiming to speak for \u201cthe collective\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Donnelly\u2019s Her Voice Movement adopts a similar approach. In a recording of a Zoom call in August \u2013 which journalist Dominick Bonny obtained and shared with the Guardian \u2013 Her Voice Movement spokesperson Naomi Van Wyk said the group had teamed up with Moms for Liberty to launch a multistate campaign called March for Kids, but cautioned members to keep the association private.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe parent company is Moms for Liberty, but they don\u2019t wanna be recognized. They really want this movement to be grassroots, and to make a public statement that there are hundreds and thousands of people across the country that are coming together under one umbrella,\u201d said Van Wyk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Elizabeth Salazar Vega, a reporter covering gender and politics in Peru, said she was not surprised that the push had taken hold in the US \u2013 or that it had found expression just weeks before a presidential election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis is the ideal scenario to bind these voices together, that could normally appear siloed in civil society,\u201d said Salazar Vega. \u201cI don\u2019t think it would be impossible for this to escalate rapidly in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Sean Feucht, a Christian nationalist pastor who has organized \u201cKingdom to the Capitol\u201d protests in swing states, is planning a similar march in DC later this month.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/12\/jenny-donnelly-anti-trans-christian-nationalist-rally\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Less than a month before the presidential election, multilevel marketing professional-turned-Christian \u201capostle\u201d Jenny Donnelly is summoning women to the National Mall to fast, pray and uphold \u201cthe Lord\u2019s authority over &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=113404\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-113404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=113404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/113404\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=113404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=113404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=113404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
