Mission Statement
Moms Against Racism (MAR) is a BIPOC-led national non-profit dedicated to dismantling systemic racism by equipping those guiding children - caregivers, educators, and community leaders - with culturally grounded, trauma-informed programming. We support both BIPOC and white adults in raising children rooted in identity, belonging, and justice. We believe the adults closest to children have the power to create intergenerational and transformational change, but they are often left to navigate racism, trauma, and healing alone. Guided by our values of community, learning and unlearning, humility, healing, and courageous action, we provide programs that build anti-racist, emotionally intelligent environments where all children and their grown-ups can thrive.
About This Cause
In 2020, as the world grieved the ongoing reality of racial violence, a question stirred in many hearts: How do we raise children who see the full humanity in others and in themselves? That question gave rise to Moms Against Racism Canada (MAR), founded by a bi-racial Black mom in Victoria, BC who knew, collectively as moms, we could do better. What began as a small group of 30 moms seeking connection and support in raising anti-racist kids has since grown into a national movement of over 2,300 caregivers, educators, and community leaders across the country. Today, MAR is a registered nonprofit led by a team of Women of Colour and allies who are committed to dismantling systemic racism and raising a generation rooted in justice, compassion, and courage. We believe the future is shaped by those guiding the next generation. When caregivers, educators, and community leaders have access to the tools, knowledge, and emotional support they need, they can interrupt cycles of harm, create culturally safe environments, and raise up children who not only thrive but help transform the world around them. We bring this belief to life through grassroots programs offering: - Anti-racism education - Culturally affirming mental health support - Inclusive children’s literature and leadership resources - Healing spaces and community care, especially for Black, Indigenous and Families of Colour Each program is developed in direct response to what our community tells us they need. Everything we offer is available on a sliding scale, with bursaries and sponsorships supported by grants and generous donors like you. At the heart of MAR are our values: community, learning and unlearning, humility, healing, and courageous action. We believe change happens in relationship and those relationships happen when we create spaces where people can show up as they are, reflect honestly, and grow together in the service of equity and liberation. Whether through a Diverse Book Basket in the hands of a young reader, a MAR Talks session that sparks deep reflection, or a family camp designed to affirm BIPOC joy, your support helps us plant seeds of lasting change. And we’re growing. In June 2025, we’ll launch a new private app and learning platform that will allow us to move our community off social media, deepen member connections, and expand access to our educational offerings in a safe, values-aligned space. Your donation, whether $10 or $1,000, directly funds: - Accessible, high-quality education programs - Fair compensation for BIPOC educators, artists, and therapists - Healing-centered supports for families - The development and sustainability of our new online platform At a time when Equity, Diversity and Inclusion backlash is growing, book bans are on the rise, and many are stepping away from the work of justice, MAR is choosing to go deeper. Join us in building a world where every child feels safe, loved, and free. Support the future. Support Moms Against Racism.
