The MOVCAC Movement, which stands for the Motivate-Organize-Volunteer Citizens Action Coalition, encourages individuals to take an active role in protecting their communities and advocating for positive change. Staying home and posting online, while sometimes useful for raising awareness, is often not enough to effect substantial change. By getting up, getting out, and joining movements like MOVCAC, you can directly engage in community actions, participate in local decision-making, and collaborate with others who share your concerns. This hands-on involvement is essential for safeguarding our nation, state, and homes from various challenges, whether they be social, or political. Active participation fosters a stronger, more resilient community and ensures that your voice is heard in matters that affect your everyday life.
The Liberty Tree was a large elm tree standing near the Boston Common at the modern-day intersection of Washington and Essex streets. Planted in 1646 it was nearly 120 years old by the time of the American Revolution. In the 1760s Boston citizens found the shade of its branches to be a popular meeting place as it was on a main artery into and out of town. The Sons of Liberty, a secret society of men who advocated for the rights of colonists, met at the tree and staged protests against British taxation and rule.
After large protests occurred at the Tree to argue against the Stamp Act in 1765, the Stamp Act was repealed. Boston citizens gathered at the Liberty Tree to celebrate. The Sons of Liberty fastened a copper sign to the tree that read: “This tree was planted in the year 1646, and pruned by order of the Sons of Liberty Feb. 14h, 1766.” Soon a liberty pole and a flag were raised at the tree as well. The Liberty Tree continued to be a place for protests and public displays throughout the 1760s and 1770s.
During the Siege of Boston in 1775, Boston Loyalists and British soldiers cut the stately elm down and burned it. After the Patriots regained control of Boston in 1776, a Liberty Pole was erected over the stump of the Liberty Tree. While the Tree no longer existed, it continued to be a potent symbol in America; and in 1787, Thomas Jefferson famously read an allegory to the Tree–“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
The history of the Liberty Tree continues to be an important part of understanding the early colonial protests. Today the site where the tree once stood has a small plaque reading: “Sons of Liberty, 1766; Independence of their Country, 1776.”
Today MOVCAC.com continues to embody the spirit of The Liberty Tree, a symbol of grassroots activism and community engagement dating back to the American Revolution. The organization serves as a vital meeting place where ordinary citizens can come together, exchange ideas, and voice their concerns about issues impacting their community. MOVCAC offers a platform for collaboration, allowing individuals to unite and work toward change and freedom without the influence of political parties or special interest groups. Through this collective effort, the organization empowers citizens to take action and make a difference in their community.

MOVCAC Chapter Locations and Meeting Information
Our History
The MOVCAC organization hasn’t always been called MOVCAC. In fact, the change came after the so-called insurrection on January 6th in Washington DC, which has resulted in numerous Americans being arrested, tried, and receiving prison time—many of whom were only in the national capital to hear a speech by former president Donald Trump.
Founded in 2009 by Glenn and Karen Newman, the organization was called Marietta 9-12 Project, and meetings were held in the Newman home for several weeks. As it grew in number, a larger location was needed, and the current Marietta location was established.
Glenn Beck created the idea of 9-12 organizations based upon 9 principles and 12 values with the goal of bringing people back to the place they were on September 12, 2001. According to Beck, on that day Americans were united as one, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever created. Marietta 9-12 Project’s goals were to educate Americans, evaluate political candidates, and motivate people to get involved in American freedom.
The group has grown; there are now several chapters in West Virginia and Ohio, and more requests to open chapters in Kentucky.
The Nine Principles are—
America is good
I believe in God and He is the center of my life
I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday
The family is sacred
If you break the law, you pay the penalty
I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results
I work hard for what I have and I will share it with those I want to
The government cannot force me to be charitable
It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion
The government works for me. I do not answer to them; they answer to me
The Twelve Values are—
Honesty, Reverence, Hope. Thrift, Humility, Charity, Sincerity, Moderation, Hard work, Courage, Personal Responsibility and Friendship
These principles and values are still fundamental to the organization, but after the January 6th issue, it was decided that it needed an additional focus–action. Thus, the Motivate Organize Volunteer Citizens Action Coalition was born and members are involved in team activities, such as Voter Integrity, Protecting the Innocent, Education/Schools, Podcasting and Publishing, State and Local Government, Wellness/Preparedness, Intercessory Prayer, Media and Data Research, Events and Sign Making, and Mentoring/Service.
We are a community of people who are tired of the fight between the left and right and Democrats versus Republicans. We are solution seekers who want to be involved but often feel lost between the polar extremes. MOVCAC is designed to assist citizens in becoming engaged on a local level. We provide information, tools, and support to those who want to make their communities better.

Where there is no vision, the people perish:
but he that keeps the law, happy is he.
