Every Mother’s Advocate imagines a world where mothers and children are no longer separated for preventable causes but empowered to break generational cycles of poverty with equal opportunity to raise their children in nurturing and stable homes. Our mission is to prevent family separation by advocating for mothers in crisis. There is an increase in child welfare involvement among poor and minority mothers. Root causes to this issue include generational poverty, mental health, and father absence. When linked to these causes, family separation could be often prevented with earlier intervention. We are addressing the need to reduce the number of children entering into foster care and preventing family separation by holistically advocating for and empowering mothers. Every Mother's Advocate is a faith-based organization and I am in agreement. ĒMA is committed to providing equal opportunity in all employment practices, to all qualified applicants and employees without regard to age, race, color, national origin, sex, handicap or disability or any other category protected by Federal, State, or local law. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 exempts ĒMA, a religious organization, against discrimination in employment on the basis of religion. Because ĒMA is a religious organization, it bases it policies, procedures, and philosophy of business on Biblical principles.
