This event is hosted by a coalition of Black women-led organizations including Operation Stop CPS, African National Women’s Organization, Movement for Family Power, Rootz Durham, and others.

2026 marks 5 years of the Black Mothers March to end family policing! This year’s theme: WE GOT US. Join Black mamas & our co-conspirators in Washington, DC on Mother’s Day (May 10) to fight for a future where Black mamas & their families can thrive, free from systems of criminalization and family separation.

This is a milestone year. After 2026, the Black Mothers March will evolve into coordinated local marches nationwide beginning in 2027. Be in DC with us to help seed local formations and shape the next chapter.
