Who We Are

We are a multiracial group of passionate, feminist, racial justice-minded people who are committed to building structures in our society that will support the work of caregiving. We believe that caring for our children, our parents, and other loved ones is fundamental to our society, and our economy - and the lack of value for the work of caring for others is one of the root causes of large-scale gender and racial inequities.

We started as a grassroots group of impacted mothers and have grown into a leading advocacy organization on gender and economic justice in Oregon. We work for systemic change by: 1) organizing mothers and caregivers into a movement to fight for a more equitable system, 2) shifting cultural attitudes about work and care; 3) advocating for bold public policies like universal child care, paid sick days, paid family and medical leave, a higher minimum wage, equal pay for equal work, and more.

We have been highly successful - winning some of the best new laws and protections in the nation for Oregon's families. We work intentionally and deeply with a variety of people and partners to advance this work. We also do our best to walk our talk, and build a workplace that truly honors the physical and mental health and family responsibilities of our staff.
