Conservatism in the United States |
---|
Eagle Forum is a conservative advocacy group in the United States founded by Phyllis Schlafly in 1972. Focused on social issues, it is socially conservative[2] and describes itself as pro-family.[3] Critics have described it as anti-feminist, anti-LGBT, ultraconservative, and far-right. A 501(c)(4) organization, it is affiliated with the Eagle Forum Education and Legal Defense Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and the Eagle Forum Political Action Committee (PAC).[4] It organizes the'Eagle Council, an annual training for conservative speakers.[5]
After Eagle Forum endorsed Ted Cruz in the 2016 election, board members who supported the Donald Trump 2016 presidential campaign left the organization and founded Phyllis Schlafly Eagles,[6][7] a 501(c)(4), and Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle PAC.
