Does anyone know of any groups/organizations that empower/support young moms?I'm writing a paper for a feminist studies class (and am a young mom myself), my assignment is to choose an organization/group within a social change movement (i.e. reproductive rights) and write about how that group's rhetoric in slogans, publications, etc was/is possibly influenced by feminist theorists that I've studied over the quarter. I'm really hoping to be able to write about an organization that is oriented around young/teenage motherhood and sexuality, in a positive and non-paternalistic way...but all I've been able to find are groups that give resources to teen moms but either with the message of "prevent teen pregnancy" or "don't have an abortion."

Other than girlmom and hipmama?
I recently stumbled across teenmama.org, and though I haven't explored it to thoroughly, I thought it looked good. Youthfacts.org might also be helpful.

Hi, It's the same here in the UK. The only groups supporting young mums are also trying to 'prevent' them! People don't seem to understand you can support young mums and also be pro-choice/feminist etc. We used to have this but I'm not sure what happened to it...
