“We value each other’s commitment to creating a better world for our children. We have each other’s backs because we believe in the dignity of life and the safety of future generations. We know we won’t agree on all things all the time, but together we pledge to build a caring economy that honors the work of motherhood and caregiving. “

** 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 any and all who see themselves as mothering in a new world .**

Membership Benefits

• Become a leader in the Mother Forward movement and join in planning actions at the federal and local level to win change for moms and families around child care and paid family leave
• Join our supportive community of moms, parents, and childcare providers as we navigate organizing and life together
• Have access to organizing opportunities like going to your state’s capitol or even Washington, D.C.
• As we continue to grow, we plan to offer educational opportunities for the things that moms say they want help with (eh hem, potty training?) as well as discounts, coupons, and even free swag!

Action Opportunities

Once you become a member, there are lots of ways for you to use your skills, talents, and passions to further the Mother Forward mission.

General Community Meetings

Once a month, we get together through Zoom as a community to share updates, celebrate actions, and plan the next way that we’re going to move the needle towards support for families. These meetings are “come as you are, come as you can”, meaning it’s okay if you’re eating, have to step away to do bedtime, or have a little one joining you! We’re all in this together, and we welcome it all.

Organizing Skills Building

In between our general community meetings, we like to offer opportunities for our members to develop their organizing skills! Whether you’ve been organizing your whole life or are brand new to the work, these workshops are a great way to grow in confidence in what you can do (because believe us, if you’re a mom, you already have what it takes to be an organizer!).

Working Groups

In between our large group meetings, we get together in smaller groups to focus our work and make the actions happen. Working groups are convened to push forward the work of our current action, so be sure to get connected!

Chapter Development

Our chapter application process is now open! Fired up and ready to take action in your local area? Starting a chapter could be right for you! Whether it’s at the state, county, or city level, we have the resources to support you in creating a Mother Forward Chapter. We currently have a Pennsylvania chapter and a Colorado chapter. Ready to take the first step towards starting your own MF chapter? Fill out the application!

Story Telling

Our voices and our stories are our power. There is something so moving about sharing our experiences with the world, and we want to help you do just that. Whether it’s connecting you with a media request, getting you on a podcast, or helping you write an op-ed, we can help you find a way to share your story!
