Mères au Front

The “Mères au Front” (Mothers Step In) organisation unites mothers wishing to protect their childrens’ future by focusing efforts on combatting political inaction towards climate change. Their vigils held throughout the province of Quebec on 20 June 2020 had activists silently display their symbol, the green edged heart, purposefully located on the nurturing maternal breast, as a reminder to politicians that they will be held to account for a strong environmental recovery in the name of their sons and daughters.
