For generations, mothers in the U.S. have been told to work harder, smile wider, and do it all — while a system built to fail us keeps going with the status quo.

Motherhood has been devalued and dismissed, yet mothers are still expected to hold up the economy with no structural support to stand on.

We’re investigating how we got here — and what it will take to build something better.

Created by activist Reshma Saujani and produced by powerhouse storytellers at Culture House Media and French Tuck Media, this project unites filmmakers, organizers, and moms refusing to accept the status quo.

Three Simple Ways to Become an Associate Producer

We’re on a mission to make history and we can’t do it without you.

Join 10,000 mothers and allies as Associate Producers behind this groundbreaking documentary demanding a country that truly supports moms.

Your involvement doesn’t just make this film possible. It fuels a cultural shift toward a world where care is valued, families thrive, and motherhood is seen as the powerful force it is.

Here’s how you can get your name in the film credits as an Associate Producer:

1. Share your story.

2. Make a donation.

3. Sign up to host a screening.

Every name in the credits is a mother or ally declaring: We will not be divided.

1. Share Your Story

Share your story — in writing or on video — and we’ll add your name to the film’s credits as an Associate Producer. We’re gathering names for a limited time, so don’t wait to make your voice part of history.

“For too long, motherhood has been used to divide us — working moms versus stay-at-home moms, rich versus poor, red versus blue. Those labels were never real; they were designed to keep us fighting each other instead of fixing the system. This movement is about ending that lie. It’s about choosing connection over judgment, truth over blame, and rewriting the story of motherhood together.”

This movement is fueled by the partners and organizations who believe moms deserve better.

What does it mean to be an Associate Producer?
+
-

Becoming an Associate Producer means your name will appear in the official film credits. It’s your way of standing alongside thousands of mothers and allies demanding a country that values care and supports families. Whether you share your story, make a donation, or host a screening, your action makes this film (and movement) possible.

How can I get my name in the credits?
+
-

There are three simple ways:

  1. Share Your Story:  Write it or record a short video.
  2. Fund the Film: Donate $25 or more, gift a credit in honor of someone, or become a recurring donor.
  3. Host a Screening: Sign up to bring the film to your community in Summer 2026.

Once you take one of these actions, your name (or the name of the person you’re honoring) will be added to the film’s credits.

Is there a deadline to be included in the credits?
+
-

Yes — we’re collecting names for a limited time while the film is still in production. Once the credits close, no additional names can be added. We encourage you to act now to make sure your name becomes part of this historic movement.

I want to honor someone else — can I add their name instead of mine?
+
-

You can gift-a-credit to a mom, mentor, caregiver, or ally who’s inspired you. Simply select “Dedicate My Donation” when making your donation, and we’ll include their name in the film’s credits in their honor. They will also receive an email to make them aware of your gift.

How will I know my name has been added?
+
-

After you share your story, donate, or sign up to host a screening, you’ll receive confirmation. We’ll also share periodic updates about production milestones and when the official list of credited Associate Producers is finalized.

Where will the film be shown?
+
-

The film will premiere nationwide beginning Summer 2026, followed by streaming and partner events. By hosting or attending a screening, you’ll help spread the movement and keep the conversation going long after the credits roll.

Can organizations or companies become Associate Producers?
+
-

Yes. We welcome organizations, community groups, and businesses that believe in our mission to join as Associate Producers or sponsors. Please contact partnerships@momsfirst.us for custom partnership opportunities.

What if I can’t donate right now?
+
-

That’s okay! Sharing your story or signing up to host a future screening are equally powerful ways to participate and both ensure your name appears in the film’s credits. Every action counts toward building this movement.
