One of the major storylines emerging from the global pandemic is just how significant the impact has been on women, especially working moms. The group behind the celebration, The, believes that the day is about building a culture that promotes equity and reduces the load put on women as the primary caregivers in our society.
“Mother’s Monday is about lifting up examples of companies, organizations, and innovations which reduce barriers that mothers and caregivers face as they balance a multitude of roles” said Gayatri Agnew, mother of two young children from Arkansas. Now a rapidly-building movement, Mother’s Monday is a call to action for Moms that are rightfully impatient with the current rate-of-progress toward improving their world. Working women, elected female leaders, and stay-at-home moms throughout the country are already organized into hundreds of groups where they work, where their kids go to school, in their neighborhoods, and through civic engagement.

The need for this day has resonated with so many people,” she said.
