This Mama is behind OBAMA!

Dear MAU Mavens,
Yesterday was a monumental day! Never before in the history of our nation have so many people participated in our democracy. For two years, mothers and others have been volunteering, organizing in their communities, talking to friends about what has been universally declared the most important election of our lifetime.We have elected a new president, one who speaks of hope and unity, not red states or blue states, but the United States of America.From Barack Obama's speech to 200,000 people in Berlin, Germany.This is the moment when we must come together to save this planet. Let us resolve that we will not leave our children a world where the oceans rise and famine spreads and terrible storms devastate our lands... This is the moment to give our children back their future. This is the moment to stand as one.Mothers Acting Up (MAU) was born out of fear after the Twin Towers fell: fear of perpetual war, widening wealth gaps and dwindling resources. Fear that children's wellbeing would slide right off the radar screen. And it did.Today for the 1st day in the life of MAU, we have the opportunity to take action under an umbrella of hope, unity and renewed engagement.This is our moment, mamas!In hope filled partnership,Joellen and the Mavens at MAU Central
