Founder & Director — Them Before Us

Katy Faust is Founder & Director of Them Before Us, the only organization solely devoted to defending children's rights in the family. She did her undergraduate degree in Political Science and Asian Studies at St. Olaf College and then received a Fulbright scholarship to Taiwan. Her fluency in Mandarin assisted her when she worked with the largest Chinese adoption agency in the world. In 2012 Katy began writing about why marriage is a matter of social justice for kids. Her articles/interviews have appeared in USA Today, Public Discourse, LifeSite News, The Daily Signal, The Eric Metaxas Show, Breakpoint, and ABC Australia. She is a regular contributor at The Federalist. She has filed several amicus briefs supporting children’s rights and advocated on behalf of children with lawmakers in the US and abroad as well as at the United Nations. Her upcoming book, Them Before Us, Why we need a global children’s rights movement, will be published in February 2021 by PostHill Press. She is the Washington State leader for the grassroots marriage movement CanaVox, and currently appears in a video series called Dear Katy which offers advice on how to live sexual integrity in the midst of morally permissive cultures. She is married to a pastor and the mother of four children, the youngest of whom is adopted from China.
