2025 Impact Report and Letter from our Founding Executive Director

I find this year to be extraordinarily challenging to summarize in a short letter. Personally, this has been the most tragic year of my life. The loss of my firstborn, wonderful son Ben, has been indescribably life-altering. I have no words for the impact. I do have many words to express my gratitude for the responses from all of you. Your response, as a community, was astounding and restorative. Your texts, emails, messages, cards, gifts of art, gifts, flowers, trees, crocheted shawls and blankets, and comforting food brought tears to my eyes, many times. Ben, the reason why I started Moms Across America, is the reason why I will continue this work.

I would like to extend my particular thanks to the MAA team, including Sam, Michaela, Anne, Carla, and the MAAM Team, comprising Kendall, Marci, Christine, Happel and Emily. Several others, who know who they are, also contributed to the work of MAA and the newly formed MAAM (The Moms Across America Movement, Yes MAAM! Legislative arm).

Never in our lifetime has our political system been shaken as profoundly as it was in 2025. Massive amounts of corruption have been exposed, and extraordinary courage has emerged to dismantle the grip corporations have long held over our society.

The work of Moms Across America has undoubtedly been a significant part of these tumultuous changes, and we are proud of our contribution. For over thirteen years, we have been speaking up, petitioning, posting, and hosting gatherings to raise awareness about the toxins in the food supply. FINALLY, on the Presidential platform in 2024, a presidential candidate said the words pesticides, food, autism, and childhood chronic illness. FINALLY. The adoption of essentially a mom's movement of food and vaccine safety advocates became Make America Healthy Again (MAHA). The Trump Administration adopted MAHA as an official Commission, and we have consistently been collaborating with many MAHA groups, government officials, health experts, farmers, lawyers, scientists, parents, and elected candidates ever since.

The results have been breathtaking. At least 81 MAHA bills have been introduced in 34 states, and 12 have become legislation. From the clean sweep of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) committee, to the reassessment of Hep B and every vaccine on the market, to the retraction of a ghostwritten glyphosate study, and The Free Press calling moms “The most powerful political force in America” - it is clear that times have changed.

While significant work remains to be done on pesticides at the EPA—an agency unfortunately not led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., our former advisor—the FDA has made meaningful progress. As a result of our testing, the agency has taken steps to remove food dyes from products, strengthen the safety of baby formula through Operation Stork Speed, and improve vaccine safety and efficacy.

Senator Corey Booker introduced the Pesticide Injury Accountability Act, Representative Paul Gosar brought forth the Vaccine Carveout Act, and Representative Rosa DeLauro presented the Federal Food Administration Act with our support. We also helped stop preemptions in a federal food additives bill from Senator Roger Marshall’s office. We expect much more to come. 2026 will be a year of equal if not greater change.

Going forward, MAA will expand on our food testing, focusing on food that affects every single one of the 350 million Americans across the nation. We will expand awareness about heavy metals, mycotoxins, and banned pesticides in our food, the contaminants that led to my son’s death and the death of many others. Skyrocketing mental health and reproductive issues will be at the top of our list of educational outreach priorities.

You can count on us to be your partners in creating healthy communities.

My dedication, although paused at times for periods of profound grief, is more fervent than ever. I have no fear, total clarity, and we have more supporters than ever. I am filled with fuel that will never be extinguished. I have experts and teammates who are dedicated to this cause with limitless passion.

Buckle up and join us on a high-speed journey transforming the food system and health in America—and far beyond. We’re charging ahead at full throttle, and we are UNSTOPPABLE.”
