Mother’s Day card

Ignore my cat trying to photobomb

Still working on my Mother's Day card. Even if it's not done before next year, I somehow doubt it will be outdated. If there is anything you'd like to give your Mom for Mother's Day, let me know in the comments. I've got: Universal prenatal care; A halt to rising maternal mortality; Sensible postnatal advice; Twelve months parental leave; Sliding scale 24hr childcare; A fair division of domestic labor that does not foist the necessary work of housewives onto undocumented workers and underpaid women of color; Valued for your knowledge rather than your appearance or, failing that, at least not condemned for your vanity; A progressive public education system that works to address the systemic inequality faced by previous generations; Inclusive social spaces where children and the elderly are welcome, so as a caregiver, you are not additionally burdened by loneliness and alienation; Job security, so taking time to care for your family doesn’t keep you from providing for them; A functioning civil court system which, in the absence of personal responsibility, ensures a child is equitably supported by both parents; Restorative justice; Healing; Compassion; Solidarity Let me know what I overlooked.
