About Mothers Acting Up (MAU)
Mothers Acting Up is a movement of mothers* stretching traditional mothering roles to include advocating for the world’s children. Why mothers? Because we’re already passionate, committed and potentially the most powerful lobby for children on earth. Why the world’s children? Because our own children’s future is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of every other child. Collectively, you, she, we, can create a world where every child—and the planet itself—thrives. Mothers Acting Up engages mothers on behalf of the world’s children in three ways: Identity—seeing our role as public and powerful; Community—learning together and uniting around critical issues; Action—taking effective action to effect direct relief and systems change.
