First off, "moms" is a broad term. It refers to all women (cis and trans) who identify as mothers, sisters, caregivers, teachers, organizers, healers in the community. It refers to those of us who are so deeply connected to our communities, that we can measure the health and well being of our own selves by the health of our communities. Moms United is comprised of women/moms/sisters/caregivers/teachers, all of whom have worked on issues of displacement--"politically" and personally. That displacement has come in the form of foreclosure, eviction, job loss, loss of community schools and clinics, incarceration, abuse or loss of loved ones due to violence. Each of those forms of displacement have internal and external elements. There are profit motives behind, them and there are adverse economic consequences for us, as well as consequences to our physical and emotional well being. Our goal is to come together at these intersections of displacement and trauma, and to build a mobilization of women who fight back, reclaim, and recreate ourselves and our communities. We are caregivers and healers in our communities, and we must work to care for ourselves and to fight back against those who profit from our displacement, as well as the alienation from our collective power, and our own selves. We will reclaim these communities, mom by mom, house by house, block by block. Join us, Mamas! Reach out, and we will surely reach back.
