Why Mothers Out Front?
I have been raised by strong, powerful women in their own right and I recognized immediately that inner fire of this organization. I have and always believe in the power we collectively hold as caregivers for our children, the earth, and all of humanity.
What is the moment that you decided to work towards climate justice?
The moment I couldn’t stand by and do nothing anymore, the moment the despair became unbearable and I had to choose between numbness or daring to hope. I decided this was my path for the rest of my life when my daughter’s ability to have a full life was threatened. I choose again when I saw my mentors in action, talking with our community or giving a speech because they too could not stand by any longer.
