Send love to a Mother of the Movement
After celebrating the anniversaries of the Reparations Ordinance and the Center in May, we are reminded of the many Mothers of the Movement whose vision, leadership, and strength are at the heart of our work and continue to guide our community.
We hope you will help us honor them with messages of love, support, and solidarity! We are collecting messages through July 24 and will mail them to the Mamas.

That’s it — we’ll take care of the rest! Thank you for helping us shower these mamas with some of the love they continue to show us and our movement every day.
