Mother of Mother's Day - Greeting Cards for Peace

Julia Ward Howe

In 1870 Mother's Day was instituted by Julia Ward Howe's Mother's Day Proclamation. Ward called for
all women who have hearts
to join with the voice of a devastated earth
and say: Disarm! Disarm!
Let women then solemnly take counsel with each other
as to the means whereby
the great human family can live in peace.

These all occasion cards make great Mother's Day Cards OR
a pack of 6 makes an awesome Mother's Day GIFT!

Multifaith Voices for Peace and Justice commissioned the cards. They are being sold in many local congregations, or can be ordered online from our website (click "read more" below). Art by Design Action, printed on recycled paper with soy inks by Inkworks Press, a worker-owned cooperative union shop, and distributed by Reach And Teach, a local peace and social justice learning company, the cards can be used to carry their profound message all year long. (To sell them in your own community, email craig@reachandteach.com.)

Why not buy a few extra and send them as Mother's Day greetings to women such as our First Lady, Secretary of State, Senators, or local Congresswomen?
