Our local MOF team in Ithaca, NY is working hard to put a halt to fossil fuel infrastructure (FFI) in our community as part of a larger effort at the state, national and international level to create the potential for a liveable planet for future generations and all life on earth. As mothers, grandmothers and mothers-to-be, we understand how deeply all communities are connected, but we also understand that where we have the most agency is in our own backyards. So although we have allies throughout our region, our focus on climate change begins in Tompkins County, NY. Our hope is that mothers everywhere will do the same, so together we can change the world - one backyard at a time.
