Donate to The Motherline!  Keep the Clean Sweep going in 2026 – we’ll get ALL OF IT! 

The Motherline is a group of women who are fired up to make positive change for our community and our planet!  We are doing this through the youth dance/theater classes and youth sustainable agriculture classes that we teach, our multi-generational mentorwebs, the environmental actions we are leading, and through our own homesteads and our support of each other.  The Motherline is fundamental, and radical at the same time. We believe that through our connection to each other, we mothers are capable of great work to make the world a better place for our kids to inherit.
Motherline empowers our work through our weekly Planet Dance practice.  We know and care for each other beyond the level of words through our shared art practice, and we fill our cups together, building our collective and individual power to do the work and make the change we wish to achieve!

Your donation is 100% tax deductable!

Testimonials

The Motherground

We define “Mother” as any woman of any age who self-identifies as a “mother”: one who possesses a calling to nurture a livable planet, whether through flora, fauna, or other human beings.  “Line” does not only refer to bloodline, but an impenetrable force of will.  We envision the end of the extractive boom and bust economies that have defined our region, and the ascent of a healthy, planet protecting, local economy. Mothers come together to move as though the children’s lives depend on it – because they do. We are Motherlining.

Watch The Motherground and experience the Motherline.  Prepare to be transformed.
