Unlike the racist Moms for Liberty, here are some moms who are working for positive change

Mom-led environmental movements are not new. Mothers of East Los Angeles, or MELA, was among the first groups to call out environmental racism, when, in the early 1990s, they protested the establishment of a toxic waste incinerator in a largely Latino neighborhood. The Chipko movement in India and the Green Belt Movement in Kenya were built by mothers. Lois Gibbs leveraged her credentials as a mother to draw attention to a toxic waste dump in Niagara Falls, N.Y., which eventually led to the creation of the Superfund program.
