Our Story

How Millions of Mothers was born

For the longest time my friends and I had been discussing our shared grief, worry and sense of helplessness over climate change and the immense impact it will have on our children’s future and the children of the world.


Millions of Mothers was born from a dream...the words kept coming to my friend Mary in the land between dreamworld and awake. Something solid clicked into place and Millions of Mothers came into being. 


I have hit that tipping point where apathy and doing nothing has become unbearable; I also knew I wasn't alone. I am one of millions, or billions of parents deeply concerned that our children may not have a liveable planet by the time they are our age.  Millions of Mothers across the globe are already displaced by the impact of climate change or about to be in the not too distant future.  


Mothers Rise Up and Parents for Future UK are doing incredible and awe inspiring work at the moment and we would love to see a similar movement happening in the Southern Hemisphere. I know that you, like me, have had enough of inaction, both from the government and corporations and that New Zealand and other countries need to declare a Climate Emergency. We need it because it will influence policy across the board, it will create solutions and will influence behavioural and societal change. It sends a strong message of intent, that we need to act now on a global, political, business and individual level.


I need you...the parents (in all the forms there are), grandparents, childless parents, aunties, uncles, cousins, friends and any adult who can vote and influence positive change. Because ultimately, it is positive change, we will all benefit from a more equitable and sustainable society, we will have deeper connections to each other and our communities and most of all our children will not be condemned to the future they are on the path to right now.


Thanks for taking the time to listen and I hope you will step off the beaten path to join me.
