Raise Kind Humans – A Resource Guide

Moms, we need to talk about our world right now. It is broken. It is hurting.

And some of us are doing the hurting. Most of us aren’t actively harming anyone, but we are too often not actively helping either. That stops now.

Here at Lubbock Moms, we are committed to standing with all of our brothers and sisters and taking action to make our world a safer place for everyone in our communities.

That includes you. And me too.

Many of us get stuck at HOW actually to do this. How can we confront our time’s issues and raise our little humans to be problem solvers instead of problem instigators or uninvolved bystanders? Sometimes we only think of BIG change, but oftentimes, we can make a difference by doing small daily things. Reading books about all types of families and main characters. Watching films and TV shows that show main characters that are People of Color or depict historical events. Following voices on social media that represent a wide range of viewpoints, and most importantly, may not be the ones you see with your very own eyes. Checking out educational resources, listening to podcasts, or supporting social justice organizations. Almost anything we do on a normal basis is something we can make more inclusive. (At our house, the favorite is to read inclusive bedtime stories. This can easily be done on any age level.)

We’ve compiled a list of resources below that you can use as you make it your goal to improve our community, and we encourage you to share resources you’d like to see added. Drop us a line, and we’ll update it! (Also – check back frequently for more resources.)

We’re all in this together, Mamas. And I’m confident in our ability to change the world.
