Mothers on the Move

What Mothers on the Move does

Mothers On the Move / Madres en Movimiento (MOM) is a community organizing non-profit that mobilizes low-income women of color and allied supporters to take strategic leadership in three intersectional campaigns: Housing Justice, Environmental Justice, and Economic Justice. The organization operates a grassroots model in which community members — rather than outside professionals — hold primary decision-making authority over resource allocation and campaign direction. Functional benefits promoted to members include access to resources, benefits sharing, decision-making power, clean air, well-resourced schools, safe streets, green space, family-sustaining jobs, and worker-ownership opportunities.

Geographically, MOM concentrates its organizing in four South Bronx neighborhoods — Longwood, Mott Haven, Hunts Point, and Pt Morris — and is led by and for low-income women of color in those communities. Distribution is built on door-to-door outreach, community meetings, and direct engagement rather than commercial sales channels. The organization communicates with members and supporters through a bilingual (English/Spanish) WordPress website, an email newsletter with over 900 subscribers, and organic social profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter/X. Bilingual brand presentation ("Mothers On the Move / Madres en Movimiento") and a secondary "Community Allies" persona extend reach to Spanish-speaking constituents and supporting individuals.

The business model is that of a non-profit: revenue, funding sources, headcount, and budgets are not publicly disclosed in the available source material. There is no proprietary technology, no commercial products, no AI/ML capabilities, no patents, no app, and no API. The organization does not operate in public markets, has no disclosed parent company, and shows no M&A or restructuring activity. The sole observable operating signal beyond the website is a February 20, 2024 blog post, suggesting recent activity but not sufficient to characterize growth direction with confidence.

Direct peers

• Community Voices Heard: NYC-based organizing nonprofit led by and for low-income communities of color focused on housing, jobs, and economic justice. Highly comparable in mission, leadership development of women of color, and multi-issue framing.
• The Point CDC: South Bronx-based community development corporation in Hunts Point focused on youth development, arts, and economic justice. Highly comparable geographically (Hunts Point is one of MOM's core neighborhoods) and shares MOM's women/family/community wealth-building orientation.
• National Domestic Workers Alliance: National alliance organizing domestic workers — predominantly women of color and immigrants — for labor rights, economic justice, and care economy reform. Comparable in centering low-income women of color and intersectional economic justice framing, though national rather than neighborhood-based.
• Make the Road New York: Bronx- and Queens-based grassroots organizing nonprofit that builds power among low-income immigrant communities through campaigns on housing, workplace justice, education, and immigrant rights. Closest comparable in mission, geography, and base-building approach to MOM.
• Mothers Out Front: National grassroots organization of mothers mobilizing for climate justice and healthy air/water. Comparable in centering mothers of color and an intersectional lens, but climate-focused; MOM pairs this with housing and economic justice.
• New York Communities for Change: City-wide community organizing group working on affordable housing, good jobs, and equitable development in low-income NYC neighborhoods. Comparable grassroots multi-issue base-building approach, though broader in geography than MOM's South Bronx focus.
• Nos Quedamos: South Bronx community organization in Mott Haven focused on housing preservation, anti-displacement, and community-controlled development. Directly comparable on housing justice and South Bronx geography, with overlap on community-controlled resources.
• Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition: Bronx-based multi-faith, multi-racial community organizing coalition working on affordable housing, public education, and economic justice. Directly comparable in neighborhood-rooted, intersectional justice model targeting Bronx low-income communities of color.

Regional players

• BronxWorks: Larger Bronx-based social services nonprofit serving low-income residents across housing, workforce, immigration, and youth programming. Comparable client base and Bronx geography but a broader service-delivery model rather than MOM's organizing-first approach.

Broad incumbents

• Children's Defense Fund: National child advocacy and family-support organization focused on child poverty, housing, and health. Comparable in centering women of color and family wellbeing, but operates nationally and through policy rather than neighborhood-based organizing.
