Mothers Out Front (c3)
Organization Description
Mothers Out Front is a national movement of moms and caregivers organizing to ensure all children can live, play, and learn in a healthy climate. Since 2013, we have built the leadership and power of mothers to transform unjust systems and accelerate the transition to clean energy. Through community organizing, leadership development, and advocacy, we help moms break down the overwhelming challenge of climate change into meaningful local action, achieving tangible policy wins that advance climate justice and protect children’s health.
2025 Programs
In 2025, Mothers Out Front will focus on three strategic campaigns that mobilize moms nationwide to lead local and state climate justice efforts. Moms v. Methane will fight gas expansion and advance clean heat solutions. Sustainable Schools and Resilient Communities will decarbonize schools and create healthy, climate-ready spaces for children. Make Polluters Pay will hold the fossil fuel industry accountable for climate damages. Across all campaigns, we will expand leadership training, provide organizing tools, and amplify moms’ stories to grow a powerful, nationwide movement for a livable future.
