When faith alone is not enough,
To keep our heads barely above,
We look for reason and come up empty-handed.
And when our children fight our wars,
While we sit back just keeping score,
We’re teaching murder not understanding now.

Who is Activist Mommy?
I am an activist. I want to make a change, make a difference, open some eyes, and work towards a better life. Sometimes that clashes with my role as a mother. I am learning to put the two together in hopes of being the kind of person my kids wnat to grow up to be. I am passionate about the things that affect me as a mother, as a woman, and as a human. I am a feminist, a stay at home mother, an U.S. citizen, and hopefully I can be someone I will be proud to know when I am old.
What is Activist Mommy the blog?
CJ at Social Upheaval said “the blogosphere is already a hotbed of activism“. And here I am, adding my own torch to the fire. I blog here to talk about the things that are important to me, to share the issues that are often swept under the rug, and to record my own actions and thoughts.
