Mothers Hold the Most Unique Power to Reshape Societies
Building a world where every mother has an advocate
ĒMA is a mother advocacy movement focused on eradicating the preventable causes of family separation. We believe
when a mom in crisis is connected to advocacy and support, she is empowered to keep her family together.
The Crisis
76% of children in foster care are removed for preventable causes. Families often enter the welfare system due to poverty—not abuse. Every day, children are separated from their mothers simply for lack of resources. We can’t ignore this crisis.
Advocate
Commit to advocating for one mom through her crisis and empower a family to stay together.
