Our Beliefs
A
mother is more than any single role she plays at any given point in her
lifetime. She is entitled to fully explore and develop her identity as
she chooses: as a woman, a citizen, a parent or an employee.
All
the work mothers do -- whether paid or unpaid -- has social and economic
value.
All
women deserve recognition and support for their right to choose if and how
to combine parenting and paid employment.
All
mothers, all children and all families are unique. We respect the
wisdom of each mother to decide how to care for her children, her family and
herself.
Mothers
have the right to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities without
incurring social and economic penalties.
The
transitions women make into and through motherhood are challenging and can
be difficult.
Together,
mother are powerful.
What
We Do:
Serving over 7,500 mothers
in the U.S. and beyond, Mothers & More is a non-profit membership
organization that cares for the caregiver. We provide a nationwide network of
local chapters for mothers who are - by choice or circumstance - altering
their participation in the paid workplace over the course of their active
parenting years. Our chapters are structured to support a mother as she
navigates the challenges of her daily life - whether she is a full-time family
caregiver or struggling to achieve a better balance between the demands of
paid work and family care.
Through our chapters and other services, we provide opportunities for mothers
to connect with one another in ways that assist them in developing their
unique identities as women and help them move more confidently through the
transitions that affect their family, work and life.
Mothers & More champions the value and necessity of all mothers' work to
our society - paid and unpaid, within and outside of the home. We strive to
raise awareness about the fact that mothers live and work in a society that
presents significant barriers to their ability to succeed as women, citizens,
parents or participants in the workforce. By uniting mothers to act on their
own behalf, we seek to eliminate policies, practices and attitudes that
unfairly impact mothers as caregivers.
