Rebecca Watson Launches Fairhope Faith Collective

Baldwin County activist Rebecca Watson has launched a new initiative firmly grounded in faith, family, and community. On Tuesday, Watson formally announced the formation of the Fairhope Faith Collective, a grassroots movement aimed at uniting Baldwin County families around shared values, honesty, and transparency.

“My heart has been called for another purpose,” Watson said. “I’m truly grateful to call Baldwin County home — a place where faith, family, and conservative values are the foundation. I’m committed to working alongside others who care deeply about preserving these principles for future generations and keeping them at the heart of our communities, giving all the glory to GOD.”

The Collective will champion several key priorities:

• Advocating for children and preserving family values
• Encouraging accountability and open communication in schools and local government
• Equipping parents and teachers with resources and stronger community voices
• Promoting transparency in both governance and education
• Influencing legislative policies that protect families and uphold Biblical values

Watson emphasized that the organization is not rooted in politics. “This isn’t about politics — it’s about faith, truth, and standing together for our families. We’re building a coalition of people who are ready to speak boldly and act courageously,” she said.

The initiative follows Watson’s recent advocacy efforts—including her leadership with the Baldwin County chapter of Moms for Liberty and her role in prompting a pause of state funds to the Fairhope Public Library amid concerns about “inappropriate” teen material.

Watson has been a prominent voice in Baldwin County, especially in efforts to influence school and library policies. She led presentations to the Alabama Public Library Service in Montgomery, sparking a temporary funding pause due to content deemed unsuitable for teens. Watson also engaged school officials in discussions over curriculum and counseling resources.

These advocacy efforts have brought heavy attention. She shared that she has faced public backlash—including online vitriol and even threats—but remains steadfast. “I know what I’m doing is the right thing … I’m tough, so I can take it,” she told 1819 News.

Watson invites interested families to follow Fairhope Faith Collective on Facebook or join the mailing list via email to stay updated and engage with their mission: Isaiah4031bc@gmail.com
