RECLAIM THE DAY!
Inspired by Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation:
(excerpt)
Arise, then women of this day!
Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be
That of water or of tears!
Our sons (and daughters) shall not be taken from us to unlearn all we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We women of one country will be too tender to those of another country to allow our sons (and daughters) to be trained to injure theirs."
- Julia Ward Howe, 1870
