The United States has the only rising maternal mortality rate in the developed world.
Women in the U.S today are more than twice as likely to die in childbirth today than they were 20 years ago.
We are the only country in the developed world with no mandated paid leave.
The MOTHER LOVERS are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization raising awareness about maternal health in the United States. Using our platform to redefine motherhood and women's health.
We fuse fashion, media, and the arts to inspire lasting change. Through fashion collaborations, we fundraise and raise awareness about maternal health for new demographics and allies. Our media efforts amplify mothers' voices, educate, and promote empathy. In the arts, we ignite change through impactful campaigns and performances challenging perceptions. Our mission is a cultural shift, driving policy change, healthcare access, and societal support for mothers nationwide. Join us as a catalyst for progress, champion of women's rights, and advocate for improved maternal healthcare.
EVERYONE CAN BE A MOTHER LOVER.
WE STAND FOR
Access to Affordable Care.
Supporting the birth workers in all communities to support and provide adequate care.
Equity In Medicine - Addressing Bias in Maternal Health.
Given the disparate rates of death in childbirth for African American and Indigenous American Mothers, we believe that all birthing persons should be treated with dignity and respect.
Equal Access to Informed Decision-Making
Supporting all approaches to birth, with an emphasis on more holistic methods. We believe in giving mothers all the facts on all types of birth, researched information about pain relief options, and not over medicalizing for profit but instead supporting families on a full spectrum of choice. We support all birthing persons to have the choice to try for the birth they want: in a hospital, at a birth center or at home.
We will fight for mothers' choices so they are not overridden or ignored.
Accountability in Care
That harassment, bias and malpractice experienced during pregnancy and childbirth are not dismissed or accepted, but subject to direct and swift accountability.
Parenthood in Action
Taking postpartum care and maternity leave seriously, including the need for education and support for postpartum depression.
Paternity/Partner Leave for all.
Open Invitation for All Community Members
”The way a culture treats women in birth is a good indicator of how well women and their contributions to society are valued and honored.”
We believe in including non-mothers into the conversation, and working together as a united community to help shape the change that affects partners, children and society as a whole
