We can’t stop beaming about Dance Like a Mother 2025, and it’s because of you, community!
✨The Highlights✨
🎫 Over 140 tickets sold.
🎟️ 600+ entries made in our amazing raffle.
💝 38 phenomenal items donated to said raffle, making four kick-ass baskets and a grand prize of two round-trip Alaska Airlines tickets. (Can we say congrats again to the lucky winner who took home that grand prize on their birthday?!)
🏆 And not to bury the lede, but y’all helped us raise 🌟102.5% 🌟of our fundraising goal to support our work with Oregon’s mothers, parents, and caregivers.
More than simply a fundraiser for Family Forward Oregon, we had an evening full of JOY. Of laughter, and celebration. We built a space where folks showed up, connected, and remembered why we are in this work together.
Thank you, each and every one of you, for showing up and showing out.
And a huge, heartfelt thanks to our sponsors: ACLU of Oregon • Blayne for Oregon • Gal Pal • Mari Watanabe for House 34 • Oregon AFSCME • PCUN • Peoria Gardens • Seeding Justice • SEIU Local 503 • Tammy for Oregon • Tina for Oregon • Women’s Foundation of Oregon • Womxn for Change

We Are Family Forward Oregon
If you’re new here, welcome! We’re so glad to meet you. We’re a feminist, antiracist advocacy organization. We’re focused on all things care, including child care and health care. We think everyone deserves affordable access to the care they need, queer and straight families alike.
We’re a movement of parents, caregivers and allies fighting for economic and reproductive justice in Oregon. Tired of being invisible, we’re making noise about the unpaid labor that holds our society together — from diaper changes to hospice care — and demanding change. With intersectional solidarity at our core, we’re building power, challenging systems and crafting policies that put caregivers first. Join our voices to support the workforce behind the workforce.

Dance like a Mother is welcome to all who are committed to racial, gender, and economic justice. No racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia allowed here. The funds we raise together will support electing people to office that are aligned with our values and will fight for self-identifying moms, parents, caregivers and people of color in Oregon.
