Building a Culture of Solidarity that Works for Mothers and Children

February 23, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST

The past few years have been a period of intense self-examination for America. Many of us are wondering why things seem to be falling apart, and how we can build a society designed around solidarity and mutual care. Amidst all of these moving parts, it’s vital that we remember to ask how mothers and children are faring in contemporary America. And as we work together to imagine a better country, what do we owe our children, and those who shepherd them into the world?
