| Mother’s
Day Parades are inspired by the life,
words and actions of Julia Ward Howe. In 1872 she called
for a day when the world would honor what we mothers
hold most dear: the lives of our children, of all children.
The MAU Parades celebrate the vision that Julia Ward
Howe spoke of 100 years ago: mothers everywhere rising
up together around that which unites us rather than
divides us. The parades provide a forum for mothers*
to express their personal commitment and invite their
communities to join them in taking collective action.
From there, the MAU Website offers monthly actions to
unite individuals into a political force to be reckoned
with.
