Kuluntu Reproductive Justice Center

[alt text: a swirly, colorful image with stars and planets with center text that says "We celebrate all people doing the work of mothering." Surrounding this are the words "parents, care workers, care collectives, mutual aid organizers, House mothers, siblings, aunties, godparents, grandparents, chosen families, domestic workers, care webs, single moms, step-parents & many more!"]

Today we are celebrating mothering beyond birthing and legally defined parenting. Mothering is, as Alexis Pauline Gumbs writes in Revolutionary Mothering, "the practice of creating, nurturing, affirming, and supporting life."

Gumbs prompts us to consider "What would it mean for us to take the word “mother” less as a gendered identity and more as a possible action, a technology of transformation that those people who do the most mothering labor are teaching us right now?"

We also recognize that the work of mothering often falls to women and q***r folks of color in U.S. society. And most of these people mother with very little support, and some with active repression by the state via the family policing system, prison system, and the medical industrial complex.

May we hold all of the people separated from their loved ones because of carceral systems of family separation.

May we also hold all who are not mothering by choice, those who are grieving their mothers, those who are grieving children lost, and those who are estranged from their mothers or caregivers.

Today, let’s ask ourselves...
how can we better support those mothering in our communities?
in what ways can we tend to the life around us?
how can we mother the future we want to see?

[Colorful wavy drawing with the words 'We'll be closed for May Day' in the center. 'May 1, 2026 General Strike' printed below]

KRJC will be closed on May 1, International Workers' Day, in solidarity with all those striking across the country. Strike organizers are calling for everyone to strike from school, work, and shopping to protest the government's attacks on immigrants and to demonstrate our collective economic power. 

Immigrants are some of the most vulnerable workers in this country, now made much more vulnerable by the threat of escalated ICE attacks. On May 1, we will join all who are using their money and labor power to say that we stand with immigrants and want ICE OUT.

In this post, we share a short history of May Day, a homegrown labor holiday celebrating the movement that fought for the labor protections we have today. May the movement continue. 

We encourage everyone to research actions happening in their communities and participate in the strike, if you're able.
