the motherhood

Sisterhood = community. Brotherhood = community.
Motherhood = it’s all on me?

Motherhood shouldn’t isolate us.
It should bring us together.

Let’s change the story on the American experience of motherhood. Together, we can finish the fight for gender equality.

Introducing The
Motherhood

How moms (and everyone who cares about moms) make change. Founded by Moms First.

Reshaping society to deliver what modern mothers deserve.

The Motherhood is a community for moms, by moms. We commit to taking collective action to reimagine our communities, our workplaces, and our culture. Together, we aim to be the advocates that our mothers needed and our daughters deserve.

How do you want to show up in The Motherhood?

Shift the system:
with The Motherhood’s Moms Who Mobilize

Are you the first to ask friends to sign a petition or remind them to vote? Or do you sit on your neighborhood board or lead your PTA? Or maybe you’re interested in dipping your toes into the policy space for the first time?

Join Moms Who Mobilize:
We’re moms demanding the policy changes we (and our families) deserve. Our knowledge is power and we use our power to educate policymakers and raise awareness of the issues that most impact our lives: paid leave, affordable child care, and pay equity. Supporting moms should not be a partisan issue, period.

Shift the workplace:
with The Motherhood’s Moms @ Work

Are you the first to check on a coworker returning to work from paid family leave? Or are you the go-to mentor for new moms as they juggle their pumping schedules and workloads? Maybe you lead your company’s ERG, or are famous for advocating to the C-suite on behalf of your team?

Join Moms @ Work:
We’re moms who redesign workplaces so that they work for moms (and truly, all of us). We crowdsource tried-and-true resources and hot tips and share them within our trusted community in order to improve our companies’ policies, benefits, and cultural norms. Because we know that the small wins in our own workplaces pave the way for the big wins that shift our society for good.

Shift the narrative:
with The Motherhood’s #MomCollective

Are you a scroller, a promoter, a meme queen, or a mom who just loves to create content? Are you known for using social media to raise your voice on issues you care about, or are you all about #MomTok?

Join The #MomCollective:
We’re moms who disrupt the dialog on motherhood, together. As the Moms First digital braintrust, we work together to change the conversation on the value of motherhood. We co-create content that tells a story of the world as it should be, and we use our megaphones to lift up that content en masse so everyone can hear us.
