Celebrating Black Motherhood...And Standing in Solidarity for Roe
|
|
As Mother's Day approaches, Policy Analyst Teon Dolby reflects on the strength and resiliency of Black mothers. Her new blog pays homage to the village of communities that support them in ways that the country has failed to do so. Unfortunately, Monday's leaked Supreme Court ruling - which would roll back the constitutional right to an abortion - could be the latest example of our country turning its back on Black women and other people seeking abortions.

On May 9, CLASP will join child care providers, parents, and families across the country for A Day Without Child Care: A National Day of Action. For generations, we have been fighting for equitable access to affordable child care and better pay and working conditions for providers—but our needs are still not being met. That’s why we’re taking action.
