In 2019 Maureen called together 52 thought-leaders from various like-minded organizations for a 3-day mountain retreat summit with the explicit intention of building collaboration, strength, and effectiveness within the Vaccine Risk Aware and Health Freedom Movement. 

As a result of this summit, Maureen founded Millions Against Mandates. MAM is an organization that works in collaboration with many health freedom groups to create summits, webinars, educational videos, documentaries, toolkits, articles and research designed to educate, equip and empower Millions to advance health freedom and create a freer, saner and healthier future.    

Maureen interviews many of the leaders in the health and freedom movement in her podcast Fiercely Pursing the Truth.  All can be found at  MillionsAgainstMandates.com
