We Defend Kids.

That’s the non-negotiable starting point for everything you’ll read here.

I’m Katy Faust, founder of Them Before Us, author of Them Before Us, Raising Conservative Kids in a Woke City, and Pro-Child Politics. I’ve spent the last decade fighting cultural lies that prioritize adult desires over the rights of children.

This Substack is an extension of that mission.

You’ll find the same unapologetic, truth-telling perspective here that drives Them Before Us. We challenge the big-fertility industry, confront cultural ideologies that harm kids, and elevate public policy that protects the most vulnerable. Whether it’s surrogacy, IVF, divorce, gender ideology, or abortion—our stance is simple: children have rights, and adults have responsibilities.

This isn’t about left or right. This is about right and wrong.
This is about justice for children.

By subscribing, you’re not just reading articles. You’re joining a global movement. You’re helping us elevate stories of real children harmed by adult-centric policies, support parents who are fighting for their families, and advance legislation that puts children first.

And every dollar of paid subscriptions goes to supporting the mission of Them Before Us.

If you’re ready to stop asking, “What do adults want?”
And start asking, “What about the child?”
You’re in the right place.
