Let’s be honest- federal change is going to take a long time. And we will keep marching forward to win support for moms and families across the countries, but we know that there is also work to be done at the state and local level, too. That’s why Mother Forward is building up chapters wherever moms are ready and willing to organize locally!

Chapters get to decide which issue they are most passionate about and want to focus on (childcare or paid family leave). From there, we support chapters in learning what is happening in their state to move these issues forward (or prevent progress!) and how moms can organize together for their needs.

Check the drop down menu to see which states currently have an active chapter for you to join! Don’t see your state yet? Maybe that’s a sign to start your own chapter.

Interested in starting your own MF Chapter?

Fill out our chapter interest form and an organizer will get in touch with you! Filling out the interest form is not a firm commitment, so if you’re unsure, just go for it! We’ll walk you through the process, time commitment, and everything else you’ll need to know to get started.

** Please note that if you identify as a mother, mama, grandmother, aunt, caregiver, parent, mentor, or advocate for children, then join us in Mother Forward. We are inclusive and excited to build with anyone and all who see themselves as mothering in a new world .**

Join in! Together we are changing how motherhood works in America.
