The beauty and finesse of a mother acting up.
Welcome to Mothers Acting Up (MAU), a movement of mothers* stretching traditional mothering roles to include advocating for the world’s children. Why mothers? Because we’re already passionate, committed and potentially the most powerful lobby for children on earth. Why the world’s children? Because our own children’s future is inextricably linked to the wellbeing of every other child. Collectively, YOU, she, we, can create a world where every child—and the planet itself—thrives.
MAU’s mission is to mobilize mothers* to act on behalf of the world’s children. MAU provides inspiration, education and tools to take action; you provide passion and commitment. The official MAU Vision statement is (feel free to quote, tweet, or needle point on sofa cushions): We work to create a world that prioritizes and protects the lives of the world’s children. By mobilizing our gigantic political and economic strength we can ensure the health, education and safety of every child, not just a privileged few. Let us: whisper this to each other, sing it out in the streets, yell it from our rooftops, and declare it in our houses of government: we will protect our children with our personal and political strength, wherever they live on earth!
