If we are to teach real peace in the world, we shall have to begin with children. Gandhi
Welcome to the Million Mamas Movement!
There are many different expressions of Mama today. Whether a child comes to you or through you, Mamas are standing up and claiming their power as creators and transformers around the globe. One thing is unmistakably clear, all mamas love their children more than anything in the world. And, not only do they want opportunities and freedoms for themselves, they want to ensure that their children are safe, fed, housed, clothed, loved, educated and celebrated. Clean air, clean water, clean food, too.
The Million Mamas Movement is taking, “when Mama’s happy, everybody’s happy” to a whole new level. It is a global organization dedicated to women, especially mamas, and children thriving. Imagine a million mamas, and others, joining together globally and taking a stand for a world where freedom, compassion and kindness lead the way!
The teaching of Universal peace principles, Compassionate Parenting & Communication and leadership skills is the emerging paradigm to transform our world. To be with ourselves and our children from a place of compassion, confidence, empathy, self-care and love breeds empowerment. It begins with each of us for we cannot give what we cannot be or see. When we look around at what is happening in the world, we can see that this evolution is being called for.
At President Obamas’s 2nd inauguration, he said, …“Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well.” When we live in a society that honors the sacredness of all living beings, violence of any kind has no place.

The time has come to put peace into practice in tangible ways. Each one of us needs to start dreaming and doing, and it starts with one action. And then another action. And then another action. And the world is transformed.
It is time to change the conversation. In America we have the highest child poverty rate. When our children aren’t cared for, they can’t express their brilliance and the future is affected. We must become engaged and invest in our children’s well-being not military budgets. Create policies that support the care and education of children.
Can you imagine a world where every woman, every mama, every child is cherished at the deepest level of their? I can. But, I can’t do it alone. And, when we address one area all areas are taken care of, too. The time is now for us to join together and create a culture of peace, with compassion and kindness leading the way. The Mamas need YOU. The children need YOU.
