The Museum of the American Revolution in Philadelphia is facing pressure from social justice groups to backtrack on agreeing to rent out one of its event spaces to the parental rights group Moms For Liberty on Thursday, June 29.

The organization's sold-out “Joyful Warriors Summit" is scheduled to be held at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown on June 29 through July 2, but the museum event will be the summit’s opening day “Welcome to Philadelphia Reception” for summit attendees.Pennsylvania State Sen.

Several museum staff members recently expressed their opposition to the museum allowing the Moms for Liberty event. “The Museum of the American Revolution strives to create an inclusive and accessible museum experience for visitors with a wide range of viewpoints and beliefs. Consistent with this mission, we make available after-hours and private rentals to groups that organize legally and safely, including federally recognized 501c4 non-profit organizations.

A Change.org petition titled"MARRIOTT HOTELS - JUST SAY NO TO HATE!! Refuse the Moms for Liberty National Convention" has over 28,295 signatures, and is calling on the hotel chain to"deny groups like Moms for Liberty the ability to host a hate-conference in their facility."
