Helping Mothers Grow, Speak Out, and Stand Strong

By Liz Welch | Executive Director

Thanks to your incredible support, Mama Dragons has made powerful strides in deepening our impact and expanding our reach through the Strengthening Our Roots campaign.

Over the past few months, we’ve hosted dynamic learning opportunities that equip mothers of LGBTQ+ children with tools to thrive and lead. From navigating tough conversations to self-care, message training around current events, and sharpening advocacy skills, these sessions are helping our mamas step confidently into their roles as protectors, educators, and public voices.

One of our most exciting achievements has been the launch of our National Outreach Project, which has already resulted in 43 new partnerships with advocacy organizations, parenting centers, LGBTQ+ resource hubs, and mental health providers across the U.S.

Through this initiative, we’ve built meaningful collaborations with national leaders like It Gets BetterNAMI, and the Movement Advancement Project—bringing new energy, resources, and reach to our work. These partnerships are not only expanding access to vital support, they’re amplifying our collective ability to defend and affirm LGBTQ+ youth everywhere.

And we’re back out in the world—showing up at events across the country to meet mothers where they are, share love out loud, and remind LGBTQ+ families they are never alone.

Because of you, our roots are stronger, our reach is broader, and our impact is deeper.
Now, we’re preparing to launch the second wave of outreach and engagement—and we need your help to keep growing.

 Your continued support fuels the movement. Donate today and help us reach even more mothers who are ready to affirm and advocate.

Thank you for helping us build a future where every LGBTQ+ child has an informed, empowered, and fiercely loving parent by their side.
