Today is #EqualPayDay.

Equal Pay Day helps raise awareness about the gender wage gap and how it impacts economic security for women and families. Understanding the gap is a CRUCIAL step toward building economic security for women and caregivers.

Join us next week for community, conversation, and a powerful film. We’re bringing mamas and community members together to relax, connect, and reflect on the issues that impact our families and futures. We can’t wait to see you there! https://t.co/5uRIInctW2 💜

Motherhood is powerful, complicated, and rarely one-dimensional.

Actors and mothers Lucy Liu and Teyana Taylor, honored at TIME’s Women of the Year gala, are calling for more nuanced portrayals of motherhood in film. Because the stories we tell about mothers matter. 💜

[Mothering Justice @momjustice]

Last week, our team gathered from across the country. ✨

Different cities. Different roles. One shared purpose. We took time to reconnect, realign, and ground ourselves in the work of building power for mothers and families. 💜

#WomensHistoryMonth is about more than looking back.
It’s about honoring the women who shaped our past and are shaping our present.

This month, we celebrate the power, courage, and brilliance of women — especially the mothers building a better future right now. 💜

Saturday we made space to breathe. 🧘🏾‍♀️✨

Mothering Justice was honored to partner with the NBDA to host a restorative yoga & meditation experience at the MJ office.

In the midst of advocacy, organizing, and caregiving, we deserve moments of rest. 🌱

Black Herstory is not an add-on. It’s foundational.

This month, we honor the Black women who shaped movements, built communities, and changed history — often without recognition.

When Black women rise, history shifts. ✊🏾

This is what the work looks like at Mothering Justice ✨

Our staff spends time in the office building partnerships and planning programs that support mamas and families in our community. The impact starts here, long before it shows up in our communities. 🌱

Rest in power, Claudette Colvin. 🕊️🤍

At 15, she refused to give up her seat and helped spark the fight to end bus segregation—long before history gave her flowers. We honor her courage, her truth, and the legacy of Black girls who have led us toward justice.

men describing pregnancy: it's not a big deal, your body was naturally designed for it

women describing pregnancy: yeah 7 of my toenails fell off, my liver and spleen switched places, my lung fell out of my butthole, and I began seeing an entity known only as "the shadow lady"

Happy Holidays from the Mothering Justice team! 🎉

What's up and happy #WorldHelloDday! 🌍

Let's spread joy by greeting someone new today! Remember a simple "hello" or "how are you" can brighten a day. 🤗

[Mothering Justice @momjustice]

On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor the lives of trans and gender-nonconforming people we’ve lost to violence and discrimination.

We recommit to building a world rooted in care, safety, and dignity for ALL families. 💜

This is why there is a disproportionate amount of Black women dying during labor.
Not because of obesity or poor prenatal care, but because of the absolute disregard and inhumanity we are treated with while in labor.

[Mothering Justice @momjustice]

Kindness is more than a feeling, it’s action. ✨

It’s checking on your mama friend, supporting a neighbor, or fighting for policies that make care possible for everyone.

This #WorldKindnessDay, let’s remember: care is power. 💜
#CommunityCare #MotheringJustice

[Mothering Justice @momjustice]

Today is #StressAwarenessDay, a reminder that your well-being matters too! Even 5 minutes of deep breathing, stretching, or sipping tea can make a difference.

You care for so many, and taking care of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential. 🌿 💜

[Mothering Justice @momjustice]

Candy is sweet, but what mamas really want? To know their kids have enough to eat. This Halloween, let’s remember the families in our community who need a little extra support. 💜
