Moms For Liberty Kirk Cameron event will be held in Madison

The Moms For Liberty event planned, then canceled, at the Madison Public Library is back on.

Madison police and the fire marshal will be on site “in the interest of public safety,” the library’s statement said.

The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library system announced Thursday morning that the event would not be held because of space concerns. In announcing the cancellation, the library system said an expected crowd of more than 300 people “far exceeds any meeting room capacity within the (library) system.”

The library statement said the organization initially said it expected a gathering of about 20 people.

The Moms For Liberty website states its mission as “dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government.”

After the cancellation, the organization threatened legal action against the library.

Moms for Liberty’s Madison County chapter has said it plans to give away copies of actor-writer Kirk Cameron’s book “As You Grow,” and that the actor would be present Saturday.
