What does it mean to be a MAU? It means to find the courage and commitment to speak out on behalf of the world’s children. It means Finding Your Inner Grizzly.

Top 10 Ways to be a MAU:

1. Join MAU and receive monthly actions & newsletters. Participate in collective actions, strengthening the impact of what we all do TOGETHER.
2. Buy the MAU Handbook for daily inspiration. And then buy one for a friend.
3. Memorize the MAU principles and apply them in your discussions, visions, plans and actions. Make a cheat sheet and xerox it onto card stock to hand out!
4. Contact your Members of Congress at least three times a year (bonus points if you show up with kids and share cookies or homegrown tomatoes with the staff; they will remember you!)
5. Publicly Reclaim Mother’s Day in your community, from radio shows to parades: Arise!
6. Girlcott EVERY DAY: Use money to create social change!
7. Write a letter to the editor and/or op-ed about one MAU action and get it published! Need encouragement? Give a yell. 
8. Participate in the annual MAU collective postcard action. Sign and send your own, then pass them out at library story-time and coffee house knitting parties!
9. Get inspired by attending MAU Live! or by hosting a presenting MAU event.
10. Spread the mighty Word of MAU to five friends — invite them to begin at #1!
