MOTHERHOOD IS IN CRISIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. FROM WORKING TO
STAY-AT-HOME MOMS, WOMEN ARE CHRONICALLY UNSUPPORTED FROM THE ONSET OF
MOTHERHOOD AS THE ISSUES THEY FACE ARE OFTEN TREATED AS UNIMPORTANT.
MOTHERS DESERVE A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN THE WAY OUR GOVERNMENT AND
CULTURE SUPPORT THEIR WELLBEING, LIGHTENS THEIR LOAD, AND HELPS THEM
THRIVE AS THEY REDEFINE MOTHERHOOD FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR FAMILIES, AND
THEIR COMMUNITIES. BECAUSE WOMEN DESERVE BETTER—AND IT’S TIME TO
TAKE MOTHERHOOD SERIOUSLY. TOGETHER, LET’S DECLARE 2020 THE
#YEAROFTHEMOTHER.
