From forced sterilizations to systemic neglect and denial of resources, these injustices have perpetuated a cycle of oppression, repression, and violence. And today, as access to reproductive autonomy continues to be rolled back, Black women remain on the front lines of these injustices.

 

And while much of the conversation about reproductive freedom has centered on the right to abortion, we know it’s about so much more than that. Reproductive freedom also means the right to raise a child in a world with enough money, safety, opportunity, and institutional support. It’s about ensuring that mothers and their children can live full, healthy, and nourishing lives.

Our mission is rooted in honoring the flourishing of Black single mothers, whose lives and contributions are too often devalued, shamed, and disregarded by society.

This Giving Tuesday, we are calling on everyone who cares about reproductive justice to expand their understanding of what it means to advocate for reproductive freedom. True reproductive justice requires a commitment to addressing the material conditions that shape the lives of Black mothers and women. And it demands a deeper recognition that the material conditions of Black single mothers are especially critical because Black single mothers live at the intersection of systemic inequities that limit their access to so many basic and necessary resources.

As we continue this vital work in a political climate that questions the very existence of organizations like ours—and denies resources to the communities we serve—we need your support more than ever. This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to make a meaningful and sustained commitment to Loving Black Single Mothers by becoming a recurring donor.

Why $1,000 per month? Because recurring donations allow us to:

Consistent support allows us to plan and execute initiatives effectively, ensuring we can meet the needs of Black single mothers and our team without interruptions.

By avoiding reliance on large philanthropic donations, we can stay rooted in our mission, centering Black single mothers without compromising our values.

Your contribution helps us create a powerful, interconnected support system.

Your committed donation also helps to ensure that we are a well-resourced organization, and as a small grass-roots organization this is extremely important. Every dollar you give to us is seeding so much possibility.
