Advocate for Black Mothers on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a time to celebrate and thank the strong women that have made each of us who we are today. Being a mom is both a gift and a sacrifice; an affirmation and a challenge; a purpose and a reminder of all that is beyond our control. It’s both creating a community and relying on the support of others to honor a mother’s first instinct — to protect her children.

This Mother’s Day, let’s acknowledge our shared responsibility to provide women what they need to thrive as mothers, from making the decision to become one, through pregnancy and the early years of their children’s lives, to watching their children grow into adulthood.

With our community partners, DSMAP is committed to protecting mothers and families.
