Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Orange County is proud to partner with the Public School Defenders Hub. Their mission is to proactively reduce the proliferation and detrimental impacts of anti-public school extremists. We provide support to parents, organizers, activists and school board member K-12 Public School Defenders on the ground.

We will have Karen Lawson and Andy Thorburn (who was co-producer of the film True Believer) discuss with us what is going on in Orange County schools and what we can do to help schools.

They have a proactive collaboration with leading public school advocacy groups and professional associations to promote common goals including providing resource information and an online resource library. They conduct monitor and observer training as well as work to counter disinformation. Karen serves as Program Coordinator of the Public School Defenders Hub. She is actively involved in local school district advocacy and organizes program advisors, partner relationships and coalition actions on behalf of the Defenders Hub.

Andy is the Founder and CEO of the Contemporary Policy Institute and has a varied background as an entrepreneur, fundraiser,  political candidate, high school English teacher, and union activist.
