[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s their lame excuse that they sent chapters who questioned them:

“We agree there’s nothing political about being against racism - EVERYONE should be against racism - but unfortunately, political activists have distorted the discussion and made it political. And by presenting statements “against” racism, it can imply that you were racist before.”

They also said “Any topic that pulls your chapter off its mission or divides your members could be political, if activists take that topic and politicize it.”

So basically, nothing discussed in any kind of current event is ok for MOMS Club. Not anti-racism, not climate change, not education, not even roads or libraries or parks. They COULD all be political! :roll:[/quote]

I agree with their stance.  They are for new mothers, all new mothers, not just activist mothers. Making statements about issues will alienate some new mothers, which is contrary to their mission.

It's hard for you to see, OP, but it's true. [/quote]

+1. Also oddly, I am originally from that random SoCal city mentioned in the change.org petition comment. [/quote]

I honestly can't imagine how anyone would think this would be okay. I am NOT be okay with a group that is simply "for new mothers, all new mothers, not just activist mothers." Because mothers come in EVERY COLOR.  And---- "Making statements about issues will alienate some new (white??!) mothers, which is contrary to their mission." What are you even saying, seriously???  ALL MOTHERS NEED SUPPORT, regardless of race, work status, economic status, ANY STATUS. The comments on here are absolutely ludicrous. [/quote]
