We stand against exploitation, oppression, and aggression. We take on real issues that affect people's lives right now, and invest in programs that work for social justice and social change throughout the Philadelphia area.

"I believe real empathy requires action. I want to be that spark, that advocates for those who can't fight for themselves, to stand up for those who cannot rise, to be the voice for the vulnerable."

Women's History Month
Honoring the Strongest of Women

From "Open Table" to "Peloton". While the country's nonprofit and retail organizations and companies celebrate the contributions of women during Women's History Month, we pay tribute to the women who are MOTHERS.

Oftentimes, single heads of household struggle between doing "what is right" and doing whatever it takes to make ends meet.

Motherhood is sacred and reverent. Mothers are the glue who hold together families, advocate for their offspring's rights. They kiss your boo boos, wipe your tears, and place a star-studded band-aid over your wound. They discipline, scold, punish, in an attempt to teach what they perceive is "right." They are master jugglers of finances and hierarchy of needs, often turning pocket change into a quart of milk.

Mothers are resilient, resourceful, and fiercely determined. Despite perhaps working two jobs with 16 hour work days, many mothers live in poverty, and live with the shame that they cannot provide for their family.
