Matriarchy Shirt

Liberation starts with the way we treat children.

We deserve a world where our community’s well-being matters more than hierarchical power or corporate profit. Where children are fed, housing is stable, healthcare is available to everyone, and caregivers have the time and support to care.

The matriarchy is a circle with children and those most in need of care at the center. Everyone shares the responsibility of caring, and everyone can count on being cared for. Patriarchy is a ladder where women, children, and marginalized people are kept on the bottom rungs.

Children do not have to grow up and contribute to the economy to deserve our investment. We owe them care now, and we can write that care into our policies, our budgets, and the way we live together.
