Karen Garnett

Karen Garnett has been a leading voice in the pro-life movement for over 35 years. As the founding Executive Director of the Catholic Pro-Life Committee of North Texas, she built the organization from the ground up into the world’s largest diocesan-based pro-life entity. Her extensive career includes serving as Chief Culture Officer at Heroic Media and leading national pro-life efforts such as the National Prayer Luncheon for Life. Karen’s contributions to pro-life messaging, including her creation of the widely adopted “Let’s Talk Lexicon,” have made her a key figure for the cause. Now, as Vice President of National Expansion at Cogency Strategic, Karen is focused on growing the organization’s reach, building partnerships, and helping pro-life advocacy groups win messaging campaigns that protect life in post-Roe America.
