Mothering Justice's Mama's March 2025 begins today at State Capitol
LANSING, Mich. (WLNS)– Grassroots policy advocacy organization Mothering Justice has held marches for over a decade to champion mothers of color. Today at noon, they'll be at the state Capitol for Mama's March 2025.
Organizers say the event is for everyone, even those who don't think they're affected. After the march, people will have the chance to stay for activities.
Aisha Wells, the deputy director of campaigns, notes that the marches are important because people don't always realize that they have the power to compel change; lawmakers are elected officials who are accountable to their constituents and not the other way around.
The Mama's March is typically held around this time of year in order to coincide with Mother's Day.
Mothering Justice's advocacy agenda includes affordable child care, earned and/or paid sick time, and reproductive justice. These issues affect working parents and caregivers as well as moms.
