Original Mother’s Day Proclamation: Call to Feed Gaza
A Message from Diana Oestreich: How can we celebrate Mother’s Day while another woman’s child is being starved?
We are reading the Mother’s Day Proclamation, originally called “Appeal to Womanhood” to appeal to all women to raise their voices to feed the children of Gaza.
All children are our children.

The original Mother's Day Proclamation, penned by Julia Ward Howe in 1870, was not a celebration of motherhood but a feminist conviction that was a call to arms for waging peace and ending war. She envisioned mothers being powerful brokers of peace between nations in conflict.
Share this Mothers day Proclamation to use your voice to unite with mothers around the world to demand the children in Gaza be fed instead of starved on Mothers Day.
We call for:
Immediate entry of life saving food and humanitarian aid to Gaza
The immediate release of all hostages
Abolishing Israel’s systems of occupation and apartheid
Now is our time to use our voices and unite women to fight for every child in Gaza’s future like it’s our own.
The Narrative Gap, as coined by Lisa Sharon Harper, is the distance between the stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, including how we got here and what it will take to make things right. In our world today, competing narratives vie for our loyalty, dividing society and the church, therefore making justice impossible. Our mission is help communities shrink the narrative gap, by identifying core issues and building community capacity so they might work toward common solutions for a just world. Here on the Freedom Road Substack, we can converse together on ways to shrink that narrative gap and help ensure everyones’ stories are told.
