2006 Mothers Day Campaign:
Mothers at Work

Opportunities for Action

How about a Mothers' Month?

Part of recognizing the importance of caregiving work is educating people about how this important work is not acknowledged and actually harms mothers. Send a letter-to-the-editor of your local publications and help get the word out. Societal attitudes will change only when the dialogue gets going!

This Mother's Day, help us encourage the media when they do the right thing!

Mothers & More has given Diane Sawyer and ABC's Good Morning America an "Apple of Our Eye" Award for blazing a new trail by encouraging real dialogue between mothers on issues that affect them. Send them an e-mail congratulating them and telling them we want more!

Themes

• All the work mothers do - whether paid or unpaid - has social and economic value.
• Mothers have the right to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities without incurring social and economic penalties.
• All women deserve recognition and support for their right to choose if and how to combine parenting and paid employment.
