'I have no desire to be part of an organization that refuses to be antiracist,' the author writes.
Guest WriterA photo collage created by the MOMS Club of Rancho Santa Margarita in Orange County, California, after the killing of George Floyd, reads:"We stand with all moms and pledge that racial discrimination will stop with our kids."
But when that chapter’s president, Jill Coene, asked IMC to post the collage to its social media pages, the governing team refused after initially promising to do it, claiming it was too “political” and using the club’s nonprofit status as an excuse not to take a stand against racism. The message of the Rancho Santa Margarita club’s collage — ending racism — is not taking a political stance. It’s standing up for basic human rights and equality.
But I have no desire to be part of an organization that refuses to be antiracist, that turns toward gaslighting and that denies that systemic racism exists in our country or could even possibly exist in this club. “We are an inclusive organization ― and have been since we started almost 40 years ago,” the email stated. “As for chapters that have disbanded, we think you’re confounding the reasons.” The email went on to say that some “weak chapters” always disband in June because it’s the club’s end of year, and others have disbanded due to the coronavirus and lack of membership.
But then I look at my daughter flipping through her books on the floor, I spread my hands over my pregnant belly and feel my baby kick, and I remember: My greatest contribution to society right now is the little humans I am raising. This is the calling I have chosen, and I am thankful and privileged to do this with a stable support system surrounding me, including the village of mothers I have met through our former MOMS Club chapter.
