It never hurts to think a little bit and make small efforts towards the change you want to see in the world.<\/p>\n

It’s fair to say that having kids trumps anybody’s (man or woman) intense involvement in social issues.\u00a0 Yes, we all think about them – and chances are we really want more<\/strong> of\u00a0a change once we have kids.\u00a0 But, where we find the time to get out there and rally and volunteer and make phone calls…. I hate to say it, but, in the parenting circles it’s a lot of talk about how much we want things to change but not a lot of action.<\/p>\n

I came across this website<\/a> and it is one that I visit daily now.\u00a0 Mothers Movement ONline is a resource for social justice issue – and parents that want to stay\u00a0active despite their time\u00a0constraints.\u00a0 Just reading the articles keeps me abreast to some issues that I feel like I have lost involvement in – hopefully, once the kids are older I will not be so seperate from causes and issues that I will be able to jump head first into them when my children are more independent and I have more hours in the day.<\/p>\n

I urge any of you out there that feel like you have had to put your inherent activist\/social justice\u00a0interest on hold (rightfully so – social justice begins with good parenting and a loving home.. what we do every day as parents\u00a0is, truly, at the core of social justice) to keep up with this site – if not every day, at least once a week… It is, at the very least, a way for you to stay aware and make thoughtful, every day decisions.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
