Love. Trash. Pie.

Wondering what to get Mom on her day? How about what every mother wants?

“I don’t need anything, I just want you all to quit fighting!”

Word.

Maybe your Mom is a peace activist like mine, and like Julia Ward Howe -

Mother of Mother's Day, Julia Ward Howe

“We, the women of one country, Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs… Disarm! Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.”

— Mother’s Day Proclamation by Julia Ward Howe

Even if Mom is one of those dynamic female Tea Party generals we’ve been hearing about, I bet she’d be surprised to find out just how much of the American Pie goes towards injuring other mother’s sons-

Warfare spends biggest bite of tax pie

So I’m going to do what I’ve done the past three years – make Mom a Peace Pie-

“This Mother’s Day, CODEPINK will be offering American families a break from the daily malnourishment of War Pie, with a wholesome new cookbook of Peace Pie recipes from prominent and courageous women, like yourself, around the world!”

(FLASH! This is a good time to read/review some basic Freeganism facts – “Freeganism; You’re Doing It Wrong”….extra Love and Trash cred for representing the freegan Moms and the pies we love).

Send us a peace pie, photo, poem or video! And give Mom a hug from us.
