Forward Together's 'Mamas Day' campaign celebrates inclusivity and the different moms that shape our communities. The campaign is launched in collaboration with independent artists including illustrators Mojuicy, Ethan X. Parker and others, spotlighting "mamas of color, immigrant mamas, queer and trans mamas, and chosen mamas who care for our families and hold our communities together."
Forward Together's unique campaign is an art project that offers free downloads of art from the organization's website. The artwork is encouraged to be saved, downloaded and shared not as a sales tool, but as a way to spread awareness about social justice, acceptance and inclusivity nation-wide. This unique project not only empowers mother figures from all walks of life but also gives independent artists a charitable platform.
