Families for Justice, JustDane, Midwest Mujeres, Sabrina Madison (The Progress Center for Black Women), and the Emerson East Neighborhood Association are joining forces to raise $7,250 in funds for our community’s very own Moms On a Mission (MOMs)!

MOMs is a grassroots, community-based group of mothers who show up to East High School in Madison, Wisconsin every. single. school. day to help foster the school community our kids deserve! MOMs creates a nonviolent environment by being present, creating relationships, de-escalating conflict, and bringing community volunteers together to make a difference, right away, on the ground.

MOMs is a low-cost, community-responsive means of redefining school safety, one that can (and already has) reduced police contact with our children. MOMs has quickly and effectively harnessed the collective power of dozens of volunteers to support approximately 500 students every day. In addition, they are powerful advocates for long-term, positive social change, equity, conflict resolution, and restorative justice practices.

To support this critical community work, we are seeking to raise $7,250 to cover the cost of the snacks MOMs will distribute during the lunch period this coming fall semester!

All donations are tax-deductible and will be received by JustDane, which serves as MOMs’ fiscal sponsor. Donate here or mail a check written out to "JustDane" to this address: JustDane, Attn: MOMs, 2115 S. Park St., Madison, WI 53713.
