For generations, mothers in the U.S. have been told to work harder, smile wider, and do it all — while a system built to fail us keeps going with the status quo.
Motherhood has been devalued and dismissed, yet mothers are still expected to hold up the economy with no structural support to stand on.
We’re investigating how we got here — and what it will take to build something better.
Created by activist Reshma Saujani and produced by powerhouse storytellers at Culture House Media and French Tuck Media, this project unites filmmakers, organizers, and moms refusing to accept the status quo.
We’re on a mission to make history and we can’t do it without you.
Join 10,000 mothers and allies as Associate Producers behind this groundbreaking documentary demanding a country that truly supports moms.
Your involvement doesn’t just make this film possible. It fuels a cultural shift toward a world where care is valued, families thrive, and motherhood is seen as the powerful force it is.
1. Share your story.
2. Make a donation.
3. Sign up to host a screening.
Every name in the credits is a mother or ally declaring: We will not be divided.
Bring this story to your home, campus, workplace, or community and help spark the national conversation.
Sign up to host a screening and get your name added to the film credits as an Associate Producer.
Fill out our short interest form, and we’ll be in touch with resources and guides as the film nears release in Summer 2026.
Each pin on this map represents a mom who raised her hand and said: this story matters and I’ll help carry it forward.
These screenings aren’t just movie nights. They’re moments of recognition. They’re conversations that crack open silence. They’re how culture starts to shift — one room, one story, one community at a time.
“For too long, motherhood has been used to divide us — working moms versus stay-at-home moms, rich versus poor, red versus blue. Those labels were never real; they were designed to keep us fighting each other instead of fixing the system. This movement is about ending that lie. It’s about choosing connection over judgment, truth over blame, and rewriting the story of motherhood together.”

Working moms. Stay-at-home moms. Single moms. Every one of us deserves better. Join the Moms First movement to rewrite the story of motherhood together.
Becoming an Associate Producer means your name will appear in the official film credits. It’s your way of standing alongside thousands of mothers and allies demanding a country that values care and supports families. Whether you share your story, make a donation, or host a screening, your action makes this film (and movement) possible.
There are three simple ways:
Once you take one of these actions, your name (or the name of the person you’re honoring) will be added to the film’s credits.
Yes — we’re collecting names for a limited time while the film is still in production. Once the credits close, no additional names can be added. We encourage you to act now to make sure your name becomes part of this historic movement.
The Associate Producer Referral Challenge is an opportunity for members of our community to help grow this movement by inviting other moms to become Associate Producers of our documentary about motherhood in America.
The referral challenge runs now through March 27.
Simply invite the moms in your network to become Associate Producers by sharing their story, signing up to host a screening, or making a donation. When they complete the form, they should list your name (or your organization’s name) in the “Who Referred You?” field.
Refer 10 moms and you (or your organization) will be recognized on our website as a Crowd Builder, honored for helping expand this movement and bring more voices into the film.
Refer 50 or more moms and, in addition to being featured on our site, you will receive a special gift from Moms First in recognition of your leadership.
You can gift-a-credit to a mom, mentor, caregiver, or ally who’s inspired you. Simply select “Dedicate My Donation” when making your donation, and we’ll include their name in the film’s credits in their honor. They will also receive an email to make them aware of your gift.
After you share your story, donate, or sign up to host a screening, you’ll receive confirmation. We’ll also share periodic updates about production milestones and when the official list of credited Associate Producers is finalized.
The film will premiere nationwide beginning Summer 2026, followed by streaming and partner events. By hosting or attending a screening, you’ll help spread the movement and keep the conversation going long after the credits roll.
Yes. We welcome organizations, community groups, and businesses that believe in our mission to join as Associate Producers or sponsors. Please contact partnerships@momsfirst.us for custom partnership opportunities.
That’s okay! Sharing your story or signing up to host a future screening are equally powerful ways to participate and both ensure your name appears in the film’s credits. Every action counts toward building this movement.
