Our Mission

The mission of Mothers for Justice and Equality is to end neighborhood violence by empowering mothers and youth to challenge the normalization of violence and become effective catalysts for change in their homes, schools, and communities. We engage mothers, youth, & families by providing targeted support, educational opportunities, and the opportunity to advocate for peace as a community.

MJE Living Room Conversations Podcast

The Living Room Conversation is an intimate dialogue hosted from MJE’s Blue Library- a space that symbolizes reflection, wisdom and collective healing. This new MAV X MJE series brings grassroots leaders, community healers, and advocates together to explore the question: Where do we go from here? Fresh from the MAV National Conference, we’ll gather for a heartfelt conversation about sustaining healing, building leadership capacity, and strengthening our national network of women leading community transformation.
