MOTHERS ACTING UP on MOTHER’S DAY: MAY 8, 2005
Click here for more

Mothers Acting Up is dedicated to mobilizing the gigantic political strength of mothers to ensure the health, education and safety of every child, not just a privileged few. MAU is organizing Mother's Day events which will be mass celebrations of the desire and ability of mothers to protect & nurture our children. Because we live in a globalized economy & environment, this doesn’t simply mean making sure our children eat a healthy lunch and look both ways before crossing the street, it means recognizing that our children’s lives are interconnected with children all over the world.
