Meet 6 Groups Of Badass Activist Moms

It’s easy to think of Mother’s Day as a simple holiday, where a greeting card, phone call, and flowers are an annual thank you to the women who raised us. It’s a difficult job, even in the best of circumstances, which is why it’s inspiring that for many women all over the world, motherhood is the engine that drives committed — and sometimes dangerous — activism.

On this Mother’s Day, we put together a slideshow of some of the most badass, fearless activist moms of yesterday and today.
