For Mother’s Day
The first American Mother’s Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virgina on May 10, 1908. It was inspired by the British version of the day and imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe to honor moms after the Civil War.
Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?
At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
