On Mother's Day

Our Mother's Day newsletter by SHDTC member Susan Newton describes the origins of Mother's Day in the post-Civil War peace movement, and reflects on the Trump administration's current war with Iran in the context of her own family's experiences with war. 

We wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day 2026 and most of all, a hope for peace for them and their children.
