Inter Pares – Take Back the Day
CELEBRATE Mother’s Day the way her-story intended: with a little peace and justice.

MOTHER’S DAY was born from the dream of a devoted activist and mother who first organized women into public health brigades, and then founded “Mothers Friendship Day” to reconcile communities torn apart by the U.S. Civil War. A few years later, a new “Mothers’ Day for Peace” began with a call for women to unite across national boundaries to end war. For over fifty years, Mother’s Day was about women working together for a better world.
