For Our Kids teams are at the heart of the network. They bring people together and are empowered to work on issues they care about. Our teams are made up of at least 3-4 people working together over time, who often involve a larger community of supporters for events or actions; they're non-partisan and they frame their work as parents/grandparents acting on the climate crisis.
If you don't see a team close to you below ⬇️, you can sign-up here to start a team. Or learn more about For Our Kids by attending a Welcome Session. If you're near a place marked below as "more to come soon", please get in touch. We'd love your help to get the team started! Email Natalie with ideas or questions: [email protected].
Land Acknowledgement: For Our Kids parents and teams live, work, meet, and act in communities that exist on land that has been taken from many Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, whether through unfulfilled treaties or outright occupation of unceded territory. Acknowledging that First Nations, Métis and Inuit are the original stewards of the lands and lifeforms that For Our Kids works to protect, we aim to learn from them and to be better accomplices in this undertaking.
Parents have come together in these communities to create a better future for all kids. Using the settler names by which those communities are known is not intended to disrespect the traditional ways in which the land was identified. We commit to working toward a better understanding of the history of the lands in which we live.

Partner Networks
We are very happy to partner with amazing networks of parents, grandparents and seniors with the same goal of creating a more liveable future for kids:
- GASP Grand(m)others Act to Save the Planet, a network of grandmothers and grand-others joined in a grassroots, non-partisan movement of political and personal actions.
- MD Moms 4 Healthy Recovery, a group of physicians from across Canada who are mothers, calling for a healthy COVID-19 recovery plan from the federal government.
- Mères au front, supporting parents in dozens of communities throughout Québec. If you would like to bring parents together in a francophone community, within or outside Québec, please contact meresaufront [at] gmail [dot] com.
