Mothers In Charge, Inc.

Happy Father’s Day to all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures.

To all the dads and father figures making a difference in the lives of their families and communities—thank you. Your presence matters, and your impact is immeasurable.

Today, we celebrate you and hold space for those who may be grieving or missing a loved one. 💗💙

Yesterday, we took a moment to do something important—pour back into the people who pour so much into others.

Our “Pouring Back Into You” Staff Appreciation Luncheon was a beautiful afternoon of gratitude, fellowship, and self-care for the incredible team behind the mission of Mothers In Charge.

A special thank you to our own Abdullah of the Reentry Team, owner of Lily May’s, for providing a delicious lunch that brought everyone together around the table. We also want to recognize our staff member Grier for creating the luncheon theme and transforming our conference room into a warm and welcoming space where staff could relax, connect, and be celebrated.

Thank you to every member of the MIC team for your compassion, dedication, and commitment to the communities we serve. Yesterday was all about you. 💗💙

Yesterday, Dr. Dorothy Johnson-Speight joined fellow community leaders, advocates, and residents at the Spread Love, Not Bullets Gun Violence Awareness Event held at the Kroc Center for an important conversation on preventing violence and creating safer communities.

As always, Dr. Dorothy brought the perspective of a mother, advocate, and changemaker—reminding us that behind every statistic is a family, a story, and a community impacted by loss.

Thank you to the organizers, panelists, and attendees who continue to show up for this work. Through prevention, intervention, education, and healing, we can continue building a safer Philadelphia together.

Join us for the 3rd Annual “Spread Love, Not Bullets” Gun Violence Awareness Event — an evening rooted in healing, action, and community. Together, we’re coming together to protect our children, uplift our neighborhoods, and continue the fight against gun violence through resources, conversation, movement, and collective care.

This year’s theme: “Vacation, Not Violence. Out of School, But Not Out of Our Sight.”
