many countries around the world celebrate mother’s day on the second sunday of may… In the United States, the origins of the official holiday go back to 1870 when Julia Ward Howe – an abolitionist best remembered as the poet who wrote “Battle Hymn of the Republic” – worked to establish a Mother’s Peace Day. Howe dedicated the celebration to the eradication of war, and organized festivities in Boston for years….

her call for women to arise remains electrifying one hundred and forty-six years later… we need to return to its original focus – that of promoting world peace…  This Mother’s Day, honor your mother by contributing to the “great and general interests of peace” both at home and abroad… when 1000 mothers come together calling for peace, harmony becomes the frequency of consciousness…

may all mothers of invention, no matter your gender, come together being prace now…
