Why a Mothers March?
* Mothers produce and care for the world's people, while war & profit
destroy us and our planet.
* The contribution of mothers, grandmothers & other caregivers to
survival is unrecognized, unpaid or low paid, whether we care for children,
vets, older people, people with disabilities...
* Resources go to weapons of war and banks instead of to caregivers,
healthy food, decent housing, health care, education, pay equity, care of
Mother Earth.
* The Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) discounts
mother & other family bonds, takes children unjustly and places them with
strangers. But children who need this protection don't get it.
* Immigration laws tear children from their mothers.
* Our children who are LGBTQ are persecuted & denied civil rights.
* Mothers, daughters, sisters, wives are central to campaigns against
criminalization and racial and economic profiling
* We're being robbed of benefits, services, wages that our work &
taxes have paid for
* Everywhere people are risking their lives to bring change - from
Palestine to Egypt, Haiti to Mexico, the Philippines to Kenya ...
