A digital mother’s day campaign seeks to combat racial and gender violence against mothers in the African-American community.

Forward Together has partnered with Black Mamas Matter Alliance, National Network of Abortion Funds, SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective and the Southern Birth Justice Network to celebrate Mamas Day.

Mamas Day launched in 2011 to illustrate different forms of motherhood and highlight the recognition of mothers, as well as familial rights.
