Jennifer Johnson is the associate director for the Ruth Institute, which was founded by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse. A child of divorce, her life story fits the Ruth Institute's mission, to reach out to those who have been harmed by our culture's toxic sexual ideology to encourage and train them to become advocates for positive change. She is a former libertarian who did not vote "yes" on California's Proposition 8 in 2008. She later became a convert to the marriage issue when she understood the connection between the decline in natural marriage and the rise of state power. She homeschooled her three (now grown) children for nine years, and serves on the Testimonial Council for the International Children's Rights Institute.
