Activating
Movements for
Abolition &
Solidarity
We are MAMAS: a Chicago-based feminist of color reproductive justice collective, unapologetically confronting and dismantling systems of state violence - including prisons, war, colonization, imperialism, and migrant injustices. We build power among mother-survivors of state violence, developing mutual care and aid while nurturing resistance and working, in coalition, towards a world rooted in radical justice and love.
Join us in uprooting injustice and nurturing change.

MAMAS resisting, redefining, reigniting, and revolutionizing the path forward.
By “mamas,” we mean biological and non-biological mothers and caregivers. Black and Brown mamas laboring on the frontlines of families and communities targeted by state violence are among the most powerful forces of social change, and their voices and knowledge must be integrated into social movements, media debates, and policy processes around prison abolition, migrant justice, and the decolonization of indigenous lands if we are to survive these systems and grow the kinds of connections and alternatives needed to build a just and loving society.
