WE ARE THE SOLUTION
The Black Mothers March on the White House is a coalition of black-led organizations that have been involved in the struggle to rescue our children from the custody of the State. We exist to expose the systematic attack on black women and the black family by the U.S. government. The U.S. Government has been able to perpetuate this terror on our communities under the guise of “protecting children” using the Department of Human Services, euphemistically referred to as Child Protective Services.
