We Find Fights.
We Win Them.

MAPDA Action is an organization of fighting-mad moms. We identify the specific forces putting children at risk — and we organize mothers to go after them. Specifically. Relentlessly. Until something changes.

What MAPDA Action Is
and What It Isn’t

We are not a public service announcement.
We are not a pamphlet.
We are not a website with tips for talking to your kids.

There are hundreds of organizations doing that work. We respect them. We are doing something different. MAPDA Action is an organization of fighting-mad moms.

We identify the specific forces putting children at risk — the social media platforms algorithmically serving drug content to teenagers, the THC retailers marketing gummies to kids, the counterfeit pill networks operating through Instagram and Snapchat, the legislative gaps that give bad actors cover — and we organize mothers to go after them.

Specifically. Relentlessly. Until something changes.

Because here is the truth:

Moms don’t just worry. Moms show up.
And when moms show up organized, things move.

THE FIGHT

This isn’t a drug policy debate.
It’s a homicide policy debate.

Fentanyl kills faster than almost any other substance in modern history. A pill crushed into a line. A capsule slipped into a night out. Someone’s son. Someone’s daughter.

The people who supply these doses know exactly what they’re moving. And in too many states, when a young person dies from that dose, the dealer faces a drug charge — not a homicide charge. MAPDA Action exists to change that, everywhere.

THE THREE-FRONT PLAN

Three fights. All winnable.

A coordinated campaign built for moms who pick fights — and win them.

If a fentanyl or other drug dealer knowingly sells a deadly poison, it is a homicide.

Change the laws surrounding drug deaths.

We support law enforcement and leaders who fight to keep our communities safe.

And we hold people accountable.

Government anti-drug efforts are too slow. We cut through the bureaucracy to prevent needless deaths.

We work to close the gaps.

A single mom can protect her child.
Millions of moms can change the culture.
