[quote=Anonymous]The group on Facebook states,

"There is a current uproar among MOMS club chapters across the US. MOMS Club members are calling out International for their antiquated bylaws (nothing has changed or been edited in 37 years). It started with the poster you may have seen in the message from Jill of the Rancho Santa Margarita, CA chapter. They created a poster that said, “We stand with all moms and pledge that racial discrimination will stop with our kids”. International would not post this because, according to them, they can’t be political as a 501c(3) nonprofit. This is not accurate. The founders have been called out on upholding outdated patriarchal, classist and racist ideas. Patriarchal - limiting evening events, classist - degrading moms who work, and now racist - refusing to stand for racial equality. This group is a place to share information, connect with other members, and brainstorm ideas on how to take action, if your chapter chooses to do so. 
Some chapters have discussed and acted on the following:
1. Flooding International's email (support@momsclub.org)
2. Demanding the current board of International to step down (there is a petition going around)
3. Disbanding their chapter
4. Starting their own facebook/meetup group or 501c(3) organization that is more inclusive and reflects the modern day mom.
Thank you for being here!"[/quote]
